Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to gather process data and business information in order to model data processes within an organisation.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Develop scope of model
  • 1.1 Identify relevant data processes and sources of information
  • 1.2 Identify information-gathering method and modelling methodology to be used
  • 1.3 Document modelling information gathered
  • 1.4 Validate modelling information with client
2. Gather process data
  • 2.1 Identify business functions and collect process data using chosen method
  • 2.2 Identify external events, procedures and results
  • 2.3 Identify processes and required decomposition
3. Develop and validate data model
  • 3.1 Model process data according to modelling methodology
  • 3.2 Validate process model with client to determine inaccuracies
  • 3.3 Incorporate identified changes, as required
  • 3.4 Review business rules to determine impact on process models and change as required
  • 3.5 Validate completed process models with client
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Information gathering method may include:
interviews
observation
questionnaires
surveys.
Modelling may include:
activity definition report (process definition)
activity dependency diagram
activity hierarchy diagrams (process diagrams)
data flow diagrams
use case diagrams.
Client may include:
employees
external organisations
individuals
internal departments.
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
identify data processes that represent the client's business reality
model these processes according to industry and organisation standard
document the model.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure access to:
appropriate learning and assessment support when required
modified equipment for people with special needs
client business requirements
database software
computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools or other modelling software.
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:
verbal or written questioning to assess candidate’s knowledge of:
process modelling
business rules
review of completed data model and associated documentation prepared by candidate.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, where appropriate.
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and suitable to the communication skill level, language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
Indigenous people and other people from a non-English speaking background may need additional support.
In cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge.
