Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT
|
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
|
Elements describe the essential outcomes.
|
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
|
1. Monitor data conversion
|
1.1 Obtain the conversion supporting documentation, and apply it to the conversion process
1.2 Protect production data, by taking action to ensure backup before the conversion
1.3 Determine the requirements of the client, and the impact on the business operation
1.4 Identify and confirm the software, hardware or environmental prerequisites in the conversion plan
1.5 Validate data accuracy and integrity, according to conversion specifications
1.6 Identify data rejected by conversion tools, and carry out the actions detailed in the conversion plan
1.7 Document the data rejection or errant behaviour of the conversion process
|
2. Support conversion
|
2.1 Verify the results
2.2 Present results to the appropriate person and obtain sign-off
2.3 Maintain and document backup copies of the conversion files, according to requirements
2.4 Develop clear and coherent technical documentation
|
Foundation Skills
This section describes language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills incorporated in the performance criteria that are required for competent performance.
Skill
|
Performance Criteria
|
Description
|
Reading
|
1.1, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 2.1
|
- Interprets, and critically analyses, complex texts and applies the appropriate strategies in order to construct meaning from the supporting documentation for conversion, and when identifying prerequisites in the plan
|
Writing
|
1.3, 1.7, 2.3, 2.4
|
- Displays a knowledge of structure and layout, employing a broad vocabulary, grammatical structure and the conventions appropriate to text, when writing documentation, and when liaising with the client
|
Oral communication
|
1.3
|
- Demonstrates flexibility in spoken texts by choosing the appropriate structures and strategies, and applies these to extract the main ideas from oral texts when liaising with the client
|
Interact with others
|
2.2
|
- Selects, implements and seeks to improve protocols governing communications with clients and co-workers in a range of work contexts
- Collaborates with others, sharing information to build strong work groups
|
Get the work done
|
All
|
- Sequences and schedules complex activities, monitors implementation, and manages relevant communication when taking action to ensure backup before conversion
- Uses systematic, analytical processes in complex, non-routine situations, setting goals, gathering relevant information, and identifying, and evaluating options against the agreed criteria when validating data accuracy and integrity, and when verifying results
- Recognises and anticipates an increasing range of familiar problems, their symptoms and causes, actively looking for early warning signs, and implementing contingency plans in relation to the data rejected by conversion tools
- Demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of the principles, concepts, language and practices associated with the digital world, and uses these to troubleshoot, and understand, the uses and potential of new technology, when monitoring and supporting data conversion to a new ICT system

Performance Evidence
Evidence of the ability to:
- obtain and apply the conversion supporting documentation
- ensure backup before conversion
- determine client requirements, and the impact on the business operation
- identify and confirm the software, hardware or environmental prerequisites in the plan
- validate data accuracy and integrity, according to the specifications
- identify the data rejected by the conversion tools, and carry out actions specified in the plan
- document any data rejection or errant behaviour of the process
- verify the results, presenting them to the appropriate person and obtaining sign-off
- maintain and document backup copies of the conversion files, according to requirements
- develop clear and coherent technical documentation.
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:
- describe current data modelling methodologies
- explain current industry data conversion tools
- describe current industry-accepted hardware and software products, including their general features and capabilities
- explain data conversion from legacy systems.
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 programming and software development industry, and include access to the:
- conversion specifications
- data conversion plan
- documentation guidelines
- sample data to be converted
- data conversion tools.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
