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.
Sources of project risk may include: | change risks, such as: changes to project scope not approved (scope creep) solution uncertainty people risks, such as loss of key resource procurement risks, such as required equipment not delivered on time quality risks, such as delivered solution not meeting requirements or expectations schedule or budget risks, such as time or cost of scheduled tasks underestimated technology risks, such as new or untried technology as part of the solution, components difficult to integrate. |
Risk management processes and procedures may include: | communicating with stakeholders dispute resolution and modification procedures implementing risk control trigger mechanisms measuring actual progress against planned milestones recording and reporting major variance setting key milestones at significant points during the project and at completion. |
Risk response strategies may include: | accept the risk or continue in the knowledge that the risk still exists avoid the risk or take action to eliminate the risk mitigate or take action to reduce the risk. |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
