Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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 following is essential:

applying risk-management techniques in relation to workplace projects

knowledge of risk-management methods, techniques and tools.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

examples of project-management documentation for risk management.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skill and knowledge. The following assessment methods are appropriate for this unit:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third-party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate

analysis of responses addressing case studies and scenarios that present issues and problems in project risk management

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of strategies for managing project risk and their application to different situations

review of risk-analysis methods, techniques and tools

review of risk-management plans

evaluation of reporting of risk-management issues and responses.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication and teamwork skills to contribute to collective processes for risk management

initiative and enterprise skills to think laterally about risks and how they may occur

planning, organising and analytical skills to assist with risk analysis, risk-management planning and review of risk-management outcomes.

Required knowledge

risk-management methods and standards

risk-management processes.

Range Statement

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.

Risk-analysis methods may include:

risk categorisation

risk data quality assessment

risk likelihood and consequence ranking

risk urgency assessment.

Risk-management strategies may include:

accepting some or all of the consequences of a particular risk

avoiding the risk

mitigating the likelihood of the risk

sharing risk with another party

transferring risk to another party.

Risk-management plans may include:

definitions of risk likelihood and consequence

identified risks

methodologies

risk categories and priorities

risk context for project

roles and responsibilities in regard to risk management

stakeholder tolerances

tools for determining risk rank and priority

tracking risks.

Monitoring risks may include:

recommended corrective actions

alternative project plans and approaches

degree of acceptable variation

planning for risk

project planning tolerances.

Opportunities may include:
