Foundation Skills
This section describes those language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills that are essential to performance but not explicit in the performance criteria.
|
SKILL
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Reading
|
- 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
|
- Applies formal labels, logos, formatting and document structure required by the organisation to ensure signoff obtained is valid
|
|
Oral Communication
|
- Articulates strategies clearly and distinctively, based on techniques and language specific to audience and environment, and uses probing, clarifying questions to ensure strategies are understood
|
|
Numeracy
|
- Interprets and analyses numerical and financial information and applies mathematical calculations and financial functions related to timeframe, logistics and budgets
|
|
Planning and organising
|
- Applies formal processes when planning more complex tasks, producing plans with logically sequenced steps and reflecting some awareness of resource constraints
- Uses analytical processes in a variety of situations, setting goals, gathering relevant information and identifying and evaluating options against agreed criteria
|
|
Technology
|
- Demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of principles, concepts, language and practices associated with the digital world and uses these to troubleshoot
|

Performance Evidence
The candidate must demonstrate the ability to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including evidence of the ability to:
- confirm new systems transition strategy for an organisation on at least one occasion, including:
- confirming acceptance plan
- developing and confirming data take-up plan
- confirming cutover plan.
In the course of the above the candidate must:
- identify and liaise with required personnel
- seek and respond to feedback.
Knowledge Evidence
The candidate must be able to demonstrate knowledge to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including knowledge of:
- technology transition strategies
- current business practices related to transition strategies
- phased delivery requirements
- methods of acceptance for transition strategies
- key features of data take-up, including:
- data sources
- integrity constraints
- data conversion workflow
- interface requirements
- data take-up methods
- data conversion contingencies
- key features of cutover plans, including:
- conversion windows
