Display resilience by continuing to move forward despite criticism or setbacks

Identify the relationship between organisational goals and recognise how own work contributes to the achievement of those goals

Implement processes to enable new technical data and information system requirements to be effectively transitioned across the life cycle this includes integrated logistics support considerations including environmental sustainability issues and validation and verification activities

Monitor processes to ensure that the technical data and information systems continue to enable the operational requirements to be attained this may include performance metrics

Evidence Required

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required knowledge and skills 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

apply relevant implementation processes

monitor and report on implementation processes

analyse data and information

apply knowledge of technical data and information plans to assist in work and to guide problem solving

demonstrate understanding of personal role in relation to wider organisational or project context

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

Consistency in performance and evidence that candidates have taken responsibility for maintaining technical data and information includes applying within authority the requirements of the job or work role in relation to

contributing to reports of results

completing work area housekeeping requirements including documenting technical data and information management activity and process outcomes

successfully maintaining technical data and information management systems

modifying activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment

working and communicating effectively and positively with others involved in the workplace

Context of and specific resources for assessment

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

Specific resources for assessment

Access is required to

computer and relevant software

legislation guidelines procedures and protocols relating to technical data and information

plans

workplace documentation

Method of assessment

Assessment of this unit must be undertaken by a registered training organisation

Where possible assessment should be supported by questions to assess required knowledge Questioning techniques should suit the language and literacy levels of the candidate

Assessment methods should reflect workplace demands such as literacy and the needs of particular groups

Assessment methods suitable for valid and reliable assessment of this unit of competency may include a combination of methods such as

authenticated evidence from the workplace andor training programs

case studies

demonstration

feedback from supervisors and peers regarding the candidates ability

observation

portfolios

projects

questioning

reviews or reports prepared by the candidate

scenarios

simulation or role plays
