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. Perform data transition	1.1 Identify and document data that is to be migrated, transferred or archived 1.2 Collect required data, target database requirements and implementation details 1.3 Clean up data to match new data structures and rules 1.4 Write and test conversion programs if required by the implementation plan, or use conversion tools 1.5 Ensure clean data take-on by re-keying or converting according to database requirements and conversion plan 1.6 Migrate data to target environment 1.7 Archive data according to requirements
2. Check data transition	2.1 Run reports and other tests on old and new data to verify the quantity and quality of data transition 2.2 Run production or specialised programs against data to confirm control totals 2.3 Check referential integrity and data constraints and requirements against database requirements and conversion plan 2.4 Verify that data transition has been completed according to requirements and plans

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, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3	Compares and contrasts complex technical information and numerical data from different sources to determine requirements and complete necessary actions
Writing	1.1, 1.4	Develops material using specific and technical language, and organises content in a manner that supports the purpose of the document
Numeracy	2.1, 2.2	Uses mathematical equations to calculate quantities and to compare numerical data against technical requirements to determine required actions
Get the work done	1.1-1.7, 2.1-2.4	Takes responsibility for planning, sequencing and prioritising tasks and own workload for efficiency and effective outcomes Uses main features and functions of digital tools to complete work tasks
