Unit of Competency ICTSAD505 - Develop technical requirements for business solutions
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the outcomes, skills and knowledge required to develop technical and related requirements that will enable business solutions to be implemented in an organisation.It applies to individuals who are responsible for performing complex technical analysis to complete a range of tasks and provide solutions to complex problems.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the systems analysis and design field of work, and include access to:

business model

business requirements documentation

customer relationship model

hardware, software and network requirements

software solutions to build business platform

processes to be changed by the business solution

security protocols suitable for business solutions

special purpose tools, equipment, materials and industry software packages.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
