Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to confirm a transition strategy to a new system, based on the revised system design and newly developed change management plan.

It applies to individuals who work as part of a team in a range of information and communications technology (ICT) positions, and are required to plan for a transition to new system websites, networks or software.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Skill 

Performance Criteria 

Description 

Reading

1.2, 1.3, 2.1, 2.2, 2.4

  • Identifies and analyses complex electronic and hard copy documentation, information and data containing specific terminology, diagrams and numerical information to organise conversion and identify data convention contingencies

Writing

1.1-1.3, 2.3, 2.5, 3.1-3.6

  • Uses clear language and plain English with task specific technical terminology to confirm approval for each stage of the conversion
  • Applies the formal labels, logos, formatting and document structure relevant to the organisation to ensure approval/signoff obtained is valid

Oral Communication

1.1-1.3,

2.1, 2.4, 2.5,

3.1-3.6

  • Elicits information by using effective listening and open questioning techniques
  • Articulates strategies clearly and distinctively, based on techniques and language appropriate to audience and environment, and uses probing, clarifying questions to ensure strategies are understood

Numeracy

1.2, 1.3

  • Interprets and analyses numerical and financial information, and applies mathematical calculations and financial functions related to timeframe, logistics and budgets

Get the work done

2.1- 2.5. 3.2

  • Applies formal processes when planning more complex tasks, producing plans with logically sequenced steps and reflecting some awareness of resource constraints
  • Demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of principles, concepts, language and practices associated with the digital world and uses these to troubleshoot
  • Uses analytical processes in a variety of situations, setting goals, gathering relevant information and identifying and evaluating options against agreed criteria

Assessment requirements

Modification History

Release 

Comments 

Release 1

This version first released with ICT Information and Communications Technology Training Package Version 1.0.

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

  • confirm acceptance plan
  • develop a data take-up plan
  • confirm cut-over plan.

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:

  • discuss and apply conversion strategies
  • outline current business practices related to transition strategies
  • discuss cut-over strategies
  • discuss post-converging strategies.

Assessment Conditions

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 general information and communications technology (ICT) industry, and include access to:

  • ICT specifications
  • change management plan
  • acceptance test plan
  • ICT security assurance specifications.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
