PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Determine RAD requirements |
1.1 Select and use, the most suitable industry-standard tool set 1.2 Implement a prioritised plan using a series of recursive stages of build, and review for delivery of the system 1.3 Implement and incorporate a physical database 1.4 Identify, document, and schedule the modules to be implemented by incremental development techniques 1.5 Identify and formally allocate responsibilities to the authorised user, and to suitably skilled builders, for each module 1.6 Plan for, and document, the endorsement of reviews, administration schedules and development milestones |
2. Determine the work metrics |
2.1 Set development goals 2.2 Seek and secure agreement on, and adherence to, a single common notation 2.3 Determine the tools, features and techniques most appropriate to the development environment 2.4 Facilitate, plan, develop, and document version and change-control methods 2.5 Facilitate training and exposure for the user participants via RAD |
3. Implement the administration method |
3.1 Determine and reach agreement of stakeholders on the specifications 3.2 Confirm the dates for milestones with stakeholders, and secure with written agreement 3.3 Inform the production system’s parties, and secure with written acknowledgment 3.4 Administer and maintain, time-recording and management methodologies |
