Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to gather process data and business information in order to model data processes within an organisation.
It applies to individuals who can apply a broad range of technical knowledge and skills within the context of a complex project.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Develop scope of model | 1.1 Identify relevant data processes and sources of information 1.2 Identify information gathering method and modelling methodology to be used 1.3 Document modelling information gathered 1.4 Validate modelling information with client |
2. Gather process data | 2.1 Identify business functions and collect process data using chosen method 2.2 Identify external events, procedures and results 2.3 Identify processes and required decomposition |
3. Develop and validate data model | 3.1 Model process data according to modelling methodology 3.2 Validate process model with client to determine inaccuracies 3.3 Incorporate identified changes, as required 3.4 Review business rules to determine impact on process models and change as required 3.5 Validate completed process models with client |
Evidence of Performance
Evidence of the ability to:
identify data processes that represent the client's business reality
model data processes according to industry and organisation standards
complete documentation of the data model.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
Evidence of Knowledge
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
discuss modelling rules and conventions with reference to naming processes and events
outline features and functions of process mappers
explain features of data analysis, particularly in determining process flows
describe processes and techniques, using logical design concepts related to designing process models.
Assessment Conditions
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:
client’s business requirements
special purpose tools and equipment
industry software packages.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Foundation Skills
This section describes language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills incorporated in the performance criteria that are required for competent performance.
Skill | Performance Criteria | Description |
Reading | 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.3, 3.4 | Critically analyses complex documentation from a variety of sources and consolidates information relating to specific criteria to determine requirements |
Writing | 1.3, 1.4, 3.3-3.5 | Prepares and produces diagrammatic models and associated documents that convey complex relationships between data |
Oral Communication | 1.4, 3.2, 3.5 | Determines and confirms client requirements using collaborative and inclusive techniques, including active listening and questioning, and reading of verbal and non-verbal signals to convey and clarify information and confirm understanding |
Interact with others | 1.4, 3.2, 3.5 | Implements strategies for a diverse range of colleagues and clients to build rapport and foster strong relationships |
Get the work done | 1.1, 1.2, 2.1-2.3, 3.1, 3.4 | Accepts responsibility for planning and sequencing complex tasks and workload, negotiating key aspects with others and taking into account capabilities, efficiencies and effectiveness Applies systematic and analytical decision making processes for complex and non-routine situations Uses and investigates new digital technologies and applications to manage and manipulate data, and communicate effectively with others in a secure and stable digital environment |
