This unit applies to systems designers who are required to plan future development projects.

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to define boundaries and deliverables of a system installation project in the context of an overall implementation plan.

The unit relates to implementation at one location although may involve building-wide implementation. It is not intended that this unit include implementation of multiple sites across cities, states or countries.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

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

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and suitable to the communication skill level, language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

Indigenous people and other people from a non-English speaking background may need additional support.

In cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge.
