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. Assess proposed solution | 1.1 Rank solution options on business value, and advantages and disadvantages of alternatives 1.2 Generate and consider solution options and additional capabilities |
2. Allocate requirements | 2.1 Allocate requirements to solution components to maximise business value 2.2 Facilitate allocation of requirements to a specific project release, phase or iteration |
3. Assess organisational readiness | 3.1 Conduct cultural assessment 3.2 Conduct operational or technical assessment 3.3 Perform stakeholder impact analysis |
4. Define transition requirements | 4.1 Evaluate old system actual data and metadata 4.2 Develop options for managing ongoing work during transition to the new solution 4.3 Participate in organisational change management recommendations or processes as required |
5. Validate solution | 5.1 Investigate defective solution outputs 5.2 Assess defects and issues |
6. Evaluate solution performance | 6.1 Realise value delivered by the solution 6.2 Validate solution metrics 6.3 Decide solution replacement or elimination |
Evidence of the ability to:
categorise benefits and disadvantages of various solution options
assess cultural impact of different solutions
compare transition requirements between solutions
analyse output variances between solutions
remove inappropriate solutions from list
recommend remaining solutions in priority order
validate solutions
confirm solution metrics and evaluate the solution.
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 the impact of the business environment with regard to proposed information and communications technology (ICT) solutions
describe and implement techniques for assessing options and validating solutions
explain and apply organisational change management
outline the principles of solution performance metrics.
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
portfolio of project work to be undertaken.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
