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. Prioritise requirements

1.1 Determine the basis for prioritisation of requirements

1.2 Resolve challenges in facilitating the prioritisation

2. Organise requirements

2.1 Articulate requirements at an appropriate level of abstraction

2.2 Devise appropriate models to describe the solution scope, based on informational needs of stakeholders

2.3 Document dependencies and inter-relationships among requirements

3. Specify and model requirements

3.1 Develop textual requirements

3.2 Generate matrices to convey or support identified requirements

3.3 Create models to document and communicate requirements and improvement opportunities

4. Define assumptions and constraints

4.1 Agree on assumptions to be defined and clarified as requirements are understood

4.2 Document and examine business constraints to identify options no longer available

4.3 Recognise and examine technical constraints that may restrict design or mandate standards to be followed

5. Verify requirements

5.1 Establish characteristics of requirements’ quality

5.2 Undertake verification activities iteratively throughout the requirements analysis process

6. Validate requirements

6.1 Identify and define stakeholder requirement benefit assumptions so that associated risks can be managed

6.2 Generate measurable evaluation criteria to assess success of requirements benefit post implementation

6.3 Assign business value of requirements to assist in identifying candidates for elimination

6.4 Determine requirement dependencies for benefits realisation

6.5 Evaluate alignment with business case and opportunity cost to assist validation and decision making

Foundation Skills

This section describes language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills incorporated in the performance criteria that are required for competent performance.

Assessment requirements

Modification History

Release 

Comments 

Release 1

This version first released with ICT Information and Communications Technology Training Package Version 1.0.

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

  • define, specify and prioritise stakeholder and solution requirements to a standard that would allow construction of a business solution
  • verify and validate the requirements to ensure necessary quality, and support for stakeholder needs.

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 business rules analysis
  • explain data flow diagramming
  • outline data, organisation and process modelling, and their relevant business and technical constraints
  • explain functional decomposition
  • describe risk management strategies
  • explain the purpose of using scenarios, stories and case studies
  • describe scope modelling.

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 systems analysis and design field of work, and include access to:

  • appropriate policies, current business analysis practices and tools
  • relevant legislation
  • special purpose tools, equipment and materials
  • industry software packages
  • reports and plans prepared for projects
  • a portfolio of projects to be undertaken.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
