Unit of Competency ICTSAD606 - Analyse stakeholder requirements
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to analyse stated requirements, determine potential solutions, and define possible features available to meet stakeholder needs.This unit applies to individuals who require high-level management, business and technical skills necessary to manage complex analysis efforts within the information and communications technology (ICT) industry, often as part of business critical ICT projects.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Prioritise requirements
  • Determine the basis for prioritisation of requirements
  • Resolve challenges in facilitating the prioritisation
       
Element: Organise requirements
  • Articulate requirements at an appropriate level of abstraction
  • Devise appropriate models to describe the solution scope, based on informational needs of stakeholders
  • Document dependencies and inter-relationships among requirements
       
Element: Specify and model requirements
  • Develop textual requirements
  • Generate matrices to convey or support identified requirements
  • Create models to document and communicate requirements and improvement opportunities
       
Element: Define assumptions and constraints
  • Agree on assumptions to be defined and clarified as requirements are understood
  • Document and examine business constraints to identify options no longer available
  • Recognise and examine technical constraints that may restrict design or mandate standards to be followed
       
Element: Verify requirements
  • Establish characteristics of requirements’ quality
  • Undertake verification activities iteratively throughout the requirements analysis process
       
Element: Validate requirements
  • Identify and define stakeholder requirement benefit assumptions so that associated risks can be managed
  • Generate measurable evaluation criteria to assess success of requirements benefit post implementation
  • Assign business value of requirements to assist in identifying candidates for elimination
  • Determine requirement dependencies for benefits realisation
  • Evaluate alignment with business case and opportunity cost to assist validation and decision making
       


Evidence Required

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

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.

Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

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.
