PERFORMANCE CRITERIA 

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Gather and confirm client requirements

1.1 Confirm the requirements, and the scope, of the project with the client

1.2 Gather information regarding requirements via sources of information and business processes

1.3 Analyse client requirements, to determine the project scope and the problem context or opportunity faced by the business

1.4 Document the client requirements, project’s scope, related problems, and sources of information

2. Analyse the functional and related non-functional requirements

2.1 Map business processes using modelling tools such as unified modelling language (UML)

2.2 Determine the opportunities for business process efficiencies

2.3 Document functional, and related non-functional, processes

3. Analyse the feasibility of a project

3.1 Analyse the technical feasibility of the project

5.2 Submit the software-requirements report to the appropriate person for project approval

Skill 

Performance Criteria 

Description 

Reading

1.2, 1.3

• Interprets, and critically analyses, and applies the appropriate strategies to construct meaning from complex texts, when gathering and analysing information to determine client requirements, and the project’s scope

Writing

1.4, 2.3, 4.1, 4.4, 4.6, 5.1

• Communicates complex relationships between ideas and information, matching the style of writing to the purpose and audience, and displays a knowledge of structure and layout, employing a broad vocabulary, grammatical structure, and the conventions appropriate to text

Oral communication

1.1

• Demonstrates flexibility in spoken texts by choosing the appropriate structures and strategies to extract main ideas from oral texts

Numeracy

3.3

• Selects from, and applies, an expanding range of mathematical and problem-solving strategies, when determining the project budget and schedule feasibility

Navigate the world of work

5.2

• Recognises and responds to both explicit, and implicit, protocols when submitting the report to the appropriate person for approval

Get the work done

1.3, 1.4, 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 4.2, 4.3, 4.5

• Sequences and schedules complex activities, monitors implementation, and manages relevant communication
• Uses systematic, analytical processes in complex, non-routine situations, setting goals, gathering relevant information, and identifying, and evaluating options against the agreed criteria
• Uses analytical processes to decide on a course of action, establishing the criteria for deciding between options
• Uses a systematic process to identify possible solutions to a difficult problem
• Uses familiar digital systems and tools to access, organise, analyse, and display information relevant to the software requirements
