Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

  • create a project schedule showing tasks, deliverable milestones, sequence, dependencies and time estimates

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

  • explain implications of time management for project resources, costs and risks
  • describe methods for estimating task duration and resource requirements
  • identify tools and techniques for managing project time and their particular applications
  • explain techniques used to measure, record and report progress of activities.

Assessment Conditions

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in the management and leadership – project management field of work and include access to:

  • workplace documentation relevant to project management
  • planning tools
  • case studies and, where possible, real situations.
