Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Evidence of the following is essential: implements, monitors and reviews a project-management plan according to organisational recording and reporting systems liaises with relevant personnel and allocates and coordinates project tasks and resources to maximise timely project outcomes uses communication strategies and systems to encourage and maintain information flow and exchange between project team personnel applies contingency-management techniques to deal with a range of problems and issues that may arise during the project and reports those outside own level of responsibility to relevant personnel evaluates and reflects on own work performance to identify ways in which future project outcomes and benefits to the organisation and individuals can be improved. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Assessment must ensure conduct of multiple projects within budgetary constraints and timeframes that are of sufficient breadth to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance. Assessment must also ensure access to: a sport and recreation environment that reflects local issues and initiatives for which projects can be implemented equipment and resources required for the project, including support staff, equipment and materials organisational procedures and protocols, such as project reporting or recording requirements sources of information on project-management techniques. |
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: observation of interacting with project team, including allocating tasks and monitoring progress observation of dealing with contingencies in relation to project deviations and budgets oral and or written questioning to assess knowledge of relevant organisational policies and procedures for conducting a project third-party reports from a supervisor detailing work performance portfolio containing evidence of research and documentation, such as a project-management plan and project reports. Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example: SISXIND507A Manage education initiatives. |
