Description
This unit describes the application of the required skills and knowledge to coordinate project activities within a broader project. It may include coordination of resources in meeting project timelines and performance outcomes.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Develop project understanding
  • 1.1. Instructions and plans are read and interpreted to identify processes and materials to complete work tasks so as to effectively coordinate the project activities
  • 1.2. The project plan is reviewed with the project leader to identify the required outcomes
  • 1.3. Project requirements including, timelines, budget and project risk management plans are clarified and understood
  • 1.4. Resource requirements are identified and tasks allocated to team members
2. Implement project
  • 2.1. Agreed project scope procedures and processes are implemented
  • 2.2. Progress is recorded and reported in accordance with organisational procedures and requirements
3. Monitor and coordinate project integration
  • 3.1. Team members are supported to ensure that the outcomes of project activities and timelines are met
  • 3.2. Recordkeeping systems are monitored to ensure that they are maintained by the team members
  • 3.3. The passage of information is, in consultation with the team leader, coordinated throughout the team to ensure integration of effort
4. Coordinate project follow-up activities
  • 4.1. Project activity outcomes and processes are reviewed in consultation with stakeholders, against the project plan and scope
  • 4.2. The delivery of project activity reports is monitored to ensure that reports are complete and provide integrated responses
  • 4.3. The project leader is assisted in assembling data and issues for the project final report

Whilst the project leader may have contributed to the project design, further design, prioritisation, the definition of objectives and the tasking of resources may be the responsibility of other stakeholders.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential:

compliance with relevant legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and organisation policies and procedures for coordinating projects
maintaining a working knowledge of current organisation inventory procedures
working and communicating effectively and positively with others involved in the work

applying, within authority, the requirements of the job or work role in relation to:

implementing, monitoring, and successfully completing project activities
contributing to reports of results
completing work area housekeeping requirements including the documentation of project activity and process outcomes
modify activities to cater for variations in organisation context and environment.

Context of and specific resources for assessment
assessment of the competency should take place in a safe working environment in a passenger motor vehicle manufacturing plant or simulated environment using tools/equipment/machinery required for the production process without undue disruption to the production process
assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of organisation relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge
assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application
assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process
assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.
