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!

DEFCM311A - Implement and manage technical risk management

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Determine risks

  1. Technical risks are identified, documented and analyse, in consultation with stakeholders and a higher technical/engineering authority, as a basis for risk planning.
  2. Within delegated technical/engineering authority, established risk management techniques and tools are used to analyse risks and assess options, and preferred risk approaches are recommended to a higher technical/engineering authority.
  3. Plans are developed, agreed with stakeholders, and communicated to ensure clarity of understanding and ongoing management of technical risk factors.
  4. Designated risk management processes and procedures are established to enable effective management and communication of risk events, responses and results.

Monitor and control risk

  1. Activities are managed in accordance with the organisation’s Engineering Management Plan to ensure a common approach to the achievement of objectives.
  2. Progress is monitored against the organisation’s Engineering Management Plan and Risk Management Plan to identify variances and recommended responses to a higher technical authority for remedial action.
  3. Agreed risk responses are implemented and plans are modified to reflect changing project objectives in an environment of uncertainty.

Assess risk management outcomes

  1. Outcomes of technical/engineering risk management activities are reviewed to determine effectiveness of risk management processes and procedures.
  2. Risk issues and recommended improvements are identified, documented and passed on to a higher authority for application.

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, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessment must confirm the ability to:

adhere to relevant data collection, storage and retrieval requirements

apply knowledge of technical risk management to assist in work and to guide problem solving

identify critical indicators of technical risk and assess the risk management system’s performance appropriate to the organisational context by determining, monitoring and controlling risks; and assessing technical risk management outcomes

work and communicate effectively and positively with others involved in the work

apply, within authority, the requirements of the job or work role in relation to implementing, monitoring, and successfully completing risk management activities; contributing to reports of results; completing work area housekeeping requirements including documenting risk management activity and process outcomes

modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over time and should be observed in a range of actual or simulated work contexts

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in the workplace or simulated workplace environment.

Specific resources for assessment

Access is required to:

computer and relevant software

relevant legislation, guidelines, procedures and protocols

plans

workplace documentation

Required Skills and Knowledge

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Required Skills

apply safety, legislative and statutory requirements relevant to technical risk management

apply technical risk management knowledge relevant to work being performed

interpret organisational role relevant to technical risk management

operate equipment and systems relevant to technical risk management activities

use appropriate information technology and software

Required Knowledge

appropriate risk management methodologies, their capabilities, limitations, applicability and outcomes

personal attitudes to uncertainty and risk, and how they might affect approaches to management of technical risk

place of risk management in the context of the materiel life cycle

technical regulatory framework, organisation's Engineering Management Plan and Risk Management Plan

technical risk management including application in the technical/engineering context of principles, tools, techniques, standards, and processes

uncertainty and the means of its measurement

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 in the Performance Criteria is detailed below.

Technical risks may include:

Actual

Likely/probable

Mention in documents associated with:

design change

Engineering Management Plan

Risk Management Plan

appropriate standards

Potential

Perceived

Delegated technical/engineering authority may be:

Appointed in accordance with the relevant technical regulatory framework and refers to planning and activities that may:

be done independently within broad guidance or by taking the lead of a team

involve consultation with other team members, teams and internal stakeholders

involve the selection, use and supervision of appropriate technical risk management methods, tools and techniques

be conducted routinely or as changing circumstances dictate

Risk management techniques and tools may include:

Calling upon personal experience and/or subject matter experts

Conducting or supervising qualitative and/or quantitative risk analysis, such as schedule simulation, decision analysis, contingency planning and alternative strategy development
