Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to manage the delivery of network infrastructure. It includes scoping the project, developing a project brief and managing the project.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement but users should confirm requirements with the relevant federal, state or territory authority.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Scope network infrastructure requirements
- 1.1. Determine the requirements of the project from client and approved network plan
- 1.2. Assess current access network conditions to determine existing network capacity and capability
- 1.3. Analyse site survey data and geographical information where necessary to assess suitability of site to design requirements
- 1.4. Assess risk of barriers to plan realisation to enure delivery of network infrastructure project is achievable
- 1.5. Analyse the impact on planning of relevant legislation and associated operational codes
- 1.6. Produce a scoping document with consideration to new technology or technology features required in the project
2. Develop project brief
- 2.1. Develop planning options considering current and new technology, facilities, features, present and future needs
- 2.2. Conduct cost-benefit studies to guide decision making processes according to sound business practice
- 2.3. Discuss project brief with the customer, as required, and obtain approval of planning options
- 2.4. Produce planning specifications relating to location, route, area, product and/or platform
- 2.5. Estimate timing, costing and an operating budget according to enterprise policy
- 2.6. Prepare the final project brief and present to operational staff for implementation
3. Manage the project
- 3.1. Define the roles and responsibilities of stakeholders within the terms of the project
- 3.2. Establish a reporting and communications line to ensure project is effectively managed
- 3.3. Review and continually monitor progress of the project against deliverables and timelines and invoke contingencies if required
- 3.4. Complete project documents in line with enterprise standards and guidelines

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 ability to:
scope network infrastructure requirements
analyse and document considerations in project specifications
analyse impact of legislative and environmental conditions to project plan
prepare project brief outlining specifications, timeframes, costing and operating budget
manage the delivery of network infrastructure to completion.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
sites on which projects may be conducted
relevant databases, legislative requirements and other site and project related documentation.
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 observation of the candidate undertaking delivery of network infrastructure including scoping the project, developing a project brief an managing delivery
review of project brief prepared by the candidate outlining specifications, timeframes, costing and operating budget
review of report prepared by the candidate outlining monitoring processes and contingency plan
oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of network infrastructures and project planning.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
ICTTEN4050A Install and configure a wireless mesh network
ICTTEN4126A Install and configure internet protocol TV in a home network
ICTTEN4211A Design, install and configure an internetwork.
Aboriginal people and other people from a non-English speaking background may have second language issues.
Access must be provided to appropriate learning and assessment support when required.
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and appropriate to the oral communication skill level, and language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
In all cases where practical assessment is used it will be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency.
Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with special needs.
