Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to manage the process of taking a design from concept to final realisation or production. No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Plan realisation of the design
- 1.1. Collect, analyse and maintain relevant information on the design
- 1.2. Discuss and agree on standards of work and monitoring requirements with appropriate stakeholders
- 1.3. Develop clear plan and schedule for design realisation, including key roles and responsibilities linked to time lines and budget
2. Implement and monitor realisation of the design
- 2.1. Organise and/or allocate resources to achieve the realisation of design within required standards, timeframes and budget
- 2.2. Liaise with others involved in design realisation to ensure obligations and quality standards are met within time, budget and technical resources
- 2.3. Maintain accurate, relevant and complete documentation in accordance with agreed standards
- 2.4. Monitor process to ensure integrity of design is maintained at all times, including through the process of challenging and interrogating own design work
- 2.5. Promptly identify difficulties or problems that arise in relation to realisation of the design and take action to rectify the situation
3. Liaise and negotiate with stakeholders
- 3.1. Establish and maintain appropriate communication channels with relevant stakeholders
- 3.2. Pro-actively seek and provide information to facilitate effective design realisation
- 3.3. Adhere to agreed terms and conditions or negotiate appropriate changes in light of changed circumstances
- 3.4. Negotiate and agree on revisions with relevant parties in a professional manner, to enhance quality of outcome
4. Complete design process
- 4.1. Finalise design outcomes in accordance with terms and conditions
- 4.2. Seek feedback from key stakeholders on finished design and make final adjustments as agreed
- 4.3. Evaluate completed design in relation to own work and overall process, to inform future practice

EVIDENCE GUIDE
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 following is essential:
planning and implementation of design realisation so that finished product or service meets the requirements of design brief
effective communication and negotiation skills in relation to working with others for design realisation
knowledge of the design process in the specific industry context/design discipline.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
access to resources, tools, materials and equipment for realisation of a design in specific context
access to a design concept that the candidate can take to realisation stage
interaction with and involvement of others to reflect the collaborative nature of the unit and the communication and negotiation skills required.
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:
direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate
evaluation of finished products or services where the candidate has managed the realisation process
evaluation of progress reports or completion reports prepared by the candidate
evaluation of candidate reports on the realisation process highlighting different management techniques used, challenges in the process and how these were addressed.
Guidance information for assessment
The design process does not occur in isolation. Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
any specialised design unit.
