Required skills
analytical skills to determine business requirements
communication skills to liaise with users

features of data analysis, particularly in determining process flows
processes and techniques using logical design concepts related to designing process models.
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Evidence of the ability to: identify data processes that represent the client's business reality model these processes according to industry and organisation standard document the model. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Assessment must ensure access to: appropriate learning and assessment support when required modified equipment for people with special needs client business requirements database software computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools or other modelling software. |
Method of assessment | A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit: verbal or written questioning to assess candidate’s knowledge of: process modelling business rules review of completed data model and associated documentation prepared by candidate. |
Guidance information for assessment | Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, where appropriate. Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and suitable to the communication skill level, language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed. Indigenous people and other people from a non-English speaking background may need additional support. In cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge. |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Information gathering method may include: | interviews observation questionnaires surveys. |
Modelling may include: | activity definition report (process definition) activity dependency diagram activity hierarchy diagrams (process diagrams) data flow diagrams use case diagrams. |
Client may include: | employees external organisations individuals internal departments. |
