Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to decommission or close an information technology (IT) project within a small, medium or large organisation.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Evaluate project performance
- 1.1 Collect project performance metrics
- 1.2 Debrief project team
- 1.3 Debrief project stakeholders
- 1.4 Summarise and report on results
2. Finalise the project
- 2.1 Review project performance to determine whether the project should be continued, decommissioned or closed
- 2.2 Assess the impact of continuing, decommissioning or closing the project
- 2.3 Recommend appropriate management action to the relevant governing authority
- 2.4 Decommission or close the project if required
3. Action outstanding activities
- 3.1 Identify outstanding activities and create an action plan
- 3.2 Assign responsibilities to action outstanding activities
- 3.3 Follow up outstanding activities to ensure completion
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.
Project performance metrics may include:
financial measures:
actual versus planned budget
actual versus planned return on investment (RoI) projections
earned value (EV) and EV performance indexes
quality measures:
number of defects
stakeholder satisfaction feedback
scope measures:
actual versus expected number of change requests
amount of rework
requirements or user story backlogs
time measures:
actual versus expected burn-down rates
planned versus actual schedule.

Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
recommend and plan the decommissioning or closure of a complex IT project based on collected performance metrics.
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
relevant project documentation, including project metrics
project stakeholders.
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:
preferred assessment method is through a workplace project or through a simulated medium to large enterprise workplace
direct observation of the candidate carrying out project work
verbal or written questioning to assess required knowledge and skills
review of reports, documents and presentations
review of a portfolio of the project work undertaken.
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.
