Course Description

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to analyse spatial requirements and design a product to meet client requirements. It requires the ability to analyse, diagnose, design and execute judgements across broad spatial project deliverables and accountability for personal and group outcomes. Functions will entail complying with and developing or amending organisational guidelines.


National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria

National Element Code & Title:

CPPSIS6007A Design spatial information services project deliverables

Element:

1. Scope spatial design requirements.

Performance Criteria:

1.1 Client instructions are analysed to determine specific needs and spatial data requirements.
1.2 Spatial data requirements and constraints are identified through further consultation with client and outcomes are recorded according to organisational guidelines.
1.3 Site assessment is conducted, when required, to clarify the scope of the job and outcomes are recorded according to organisational guidelines.
1.4 Skills and knowledge are updated to accommodate changes in project delivery.

Element:

2. Plan spatial design project.

Performance Criteria:

2.1 Project objectives, deliverables, constraints and principal work activities are defined and documented according to written spatial data specifications and client requirements.
2.2 Information is included in the plan relating to identified risks and contingencies, resources, technology details and techniques to be used to collect data in the specified format.
2.3 Information on the validation process is specified in the plan to verify the integrity of the required spatial data.
2.4 Design is interpreted to identify spatial data components to be controlled or monitored.
2.5 Hazards and risks in the work site are identified according to organisational guidelines and OHS and legislative requirements.
2.6 Pertinent legal and statutory standards are considered and adhered to.
2.7 Organisation of appropriate resources, equipment, materials and transport required for the project is designated to relevant personnel.
2.8 Research on background analysis is documented.

Element:

3. Analyse, compute and design.

Performance Criteria:

3.1 Work is allocated to appropriate personnel and supervisory processes, checks and measures are implemented.
3.2 Project management mechanisms are implemented to measure, record and report progress of activities in relation to the agreed schedule and plans.
3.3 Calculations and analysis are undertaken for product development.
3.4 Design is prepared according to organisational and approving authorities’ guidelines and requirements.
3.5 Contingencies and constraints are managed to ensure project meets specifications.
3.6 Progress is reviewed throughout project life cycle, with agreed changes implemented to ensure consistency with client needs, project scope, objectives and constraints.

Element:

4. Present analysis, computations and design.

Performance Criteria:

4.1 Product is validated for presentation.
4.2 Outputs are validated against client requirements.
4.3 Metadata is created according to organisational guidelines.
