Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to define boundaries and deliverables of a system installation project, in one location, in the context of an overall implementation plan.
It applies to individuals who apply specialised and technical knowledge to strategic initiatives and project planning.
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. Determine scope | 1.1 Review project plan and other documentation 1.2 Determine installation requirements 1.3 Identify other implementation issues |
2. Confirm scope with parties | 2.1 Develop and document preliminary project scope and submit to appropriate person 2.2 Review requests for revision to scope 2.3 Identify areas for further development 2.4 Prepare implementation plan and forward to appropriate person |
3. Update plans to account for scope | 3.1 Review implementation plan, taking into account scope of system 3.2 Review key dates and events to determine if conflicts exist 3.3 Confirm revised plans and documents with appropriate person for final approval and sign-off |
Evidence of Performance
Evidence of the ability to:
prepare a project plan and implement an approach that addresses:
drivers
measures of success
implementation by functional area
coordination.
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:
identify and describe project planning, including the scope and roles of individuals
outline the key features of:
client business domain
information and communications technology (ICT) related services and issues
identify and describe possible legislative requirements relating to cabling and building preservation
describe the role of stakeholders and degree of stakeholder involvement
summarise current trends in vendor products
analyse and describe:
current industry accepted hardware and software products
prerequisites needed for system installation
vendor specifications and requirements for installation.
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 administration and support field of work and include access to special purpose tools, equipment, materials and industry software packages, including:
project documentation
staff
resources
technical equipment.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
