List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Prioritise requirements | 1.1 Determine the basis for prioritisation of requirements 1.2 Resolve challenges in facilitating the prioritisation |
2. Organise requirements | 2.1 Articulate requirements at an appropriate level of abstraction 2.2 Devise appropriate models to describe the solution scope, based on informational needs of stakeholders 2.3 Document dependencies and inter-relationships among requirements |
3. Specify and model requirements | 3.1 Develop textual requirements 3.2 Generate matrices to convey or support identified requirements 3.3 Create models to document and communicate requirements and improvement opportunities |
4. Define assumptions and constraints | 4.1 Agree on assumptions to be defined and clarified as requirements are understood 4.2 Document and examine business constraints to identify options no longer available 4.3 Recognise and examine technical constraints that may restrict design or mandate standards to be followed |
5. Verify requirements | 5.1 Establish characteristics of requirements’ quality 5.2 Undertake verification activities iteratively throughout the requirements analysis process |
6. Validate requirements | 6.1 Identify and define stakeholder requirement benefit assumptions so that associated risks can be managed 6.2 Generate measurable evaluation criteria to assess success of requirements benefit post implementation 6.3 Assign business value of requirements to assist in identifying candidates for elimination 6.4 Determine requirement dependencies for benefits realisation 6.5 Evaluate alignment with business case and opportunity cost to assist validation and decision making |
Evidence of the ability to:
define, specify and prioritise stakeholder and solution requirements to a standard that would allow construction of a business solution
verify and validate the requirements to ensure necessary quality, and support for stakeholder needs.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
describe business rules analysis
explain data flow diagramming
outline data, organisation and process modelling, and their relevant business and technical constraints
explain functional decomposition
describe risk management strategies
explain the purpose of using scenarios, stories and case studies
describe scope modelling.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the systems analysis and design field of work, and include access to:
appropriate policies, current business analysis practices and tools
relevant legislation
special purpose tools, equipment and materials
industry software packages
reports and plans prepared for projects
a portfolio of projects to be undertaken.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
