Context of and specific resources for assessment |
Developing the technical requirements for a business solution requires depth and complexity involving analysis, diagnosis, design, planning, execution and evaluation across a broad range of technical functions, including development of new criteria or applications or knowledge or procedures. Significant reviewing of technical processes and complex business techniques across a wide and often unpredictable variety of contexts is necessary for determining secure platforms to manage the business solution. Contribution to the development of a broad technical plan is involved and accountability and responsibility for self and others in achieving the outcomes is involved. Applications involve significant judgement in technical or leadership/guidance. The degree of emphasis on breadth as against depth of knowledge and skills may vary between qualifications granted at this level. The breadth, depth and complexity involving analysis, design, planning, execution and evaluation across a range of technical and/or management functions including development of new criteria or applications or knowledge or procedures would be characteristic. Assessment must ensure:
|
Method of assessment |
The purpose of this unit is to define the standard of performance to be achieved in the workplace. In undertaking training and assessment activities related to this unit, consideration should be given to the implementation of appropriate diversity and accessibility practices in order to accommodate people who may have special needs. Additional guidance on these and related matters is provided in ICA05 Section 1.
