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:

demonstrated experience in directing the successful application of quality management across a range of concurrent projects

knowledge of relevant Australian and international standards.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

access to workplace quality documentation

consideration of feedback from project team/s and stakeholders as to how quality was managed.

Method of assessment

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

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

analysis of responses addressing different project quality management case studies and scenarios

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

assessment how program quality criteria were identified and communicated

review of actions initiated to enable continuous improvement.

Guidance information for assessment

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

other units in the Advanced Diploma of Project Management.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

leadership, communication and interpersonal skills to foster compliance with quality benchmarks

literacy skills to communicate decisions and to write quality reports

skills in analysing, interpreting and reviewing data to assess performance against quality benchmarks

problem-solving skills to address gaps in quality assurance.

Required knowledge

range of quality management methods, techniques, tools and systems and their various applications

relevant Australian and international standards.

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.

Quality management may:

be conducted non-routinely to meet complex and changing circumstances

be done independently or by taking the lead in a team environment

involve consultation with and direction to, project managers regarding their selective involvement of appropriate project stakeholders

involve the overall direction to project managers for the selection, modification and supervision of the use of appropriate quality management methods, processes, procedures, tools and techniques

take into account the impact of organisational and environmental change on the program and vice versa

Quality management system may include:

ISO 9000 series or as designed to meet the specific needs of the project

Quality improvements may include:

formal practices, such as total quality management or continuous improvement

less formal processes which improve both the product quality and processes of the project, for example client surveys to determine client satisfaction with project performance
