Course Description

This unit covers the management of electronics/computer systems projects involving management of safety, budget variation, personnel, resources, timelines and completion documentation.


National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria

National Element Code & Title:

UEENEEH041B Manage electronics/computer systems projects

Element:

1. Establish the scope of the projects.

Performance Criteria:

1. Establish the scope of the projects.
1.1 OHS processes and procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and understood.
1.2 Project deliverables and project objectives (as measurable outcomes) are established from project planning and other relevant documentation and from discussions with appropriate person(s).
1.3 The “work breakdown structure” (WBS) is developed to identify component parts of the project.
1.4 Major milestones and deliverables are identified.
1.5 Resources needed to meet project outcome are established.
1.6 Processes and procedures are developed for managing contract variations from discussions with appropriate person(s) and in accordance with contractual agreement.
1.7 Risks are identified and project plan strategies devised to ensure that outcomes are achieved to the required standard of quality specified in the contract.
1.8 A project plan is devised. The project plan typically includes: scope statement, WBS, cost estimates,
proposed timeline and deliverables, required staff and other resources, key risks and their planned responses.

Element:

2. Manage electronics/computer systems projects.

Performance Criteria:

Manage electronics/computer systems projects.
Performance Criteria: 2.1 OHS policies, procedures and programs are implemented and monitored.
2.2 Achievement of project outcomes is delegated to appropriately competent person(s) involved in the project.
2.3 Risk events are monitored and project plan strategies implemented to ensure that outcomes are achieved to the required standard of quality specified in the contract.
2.4 Procurement processes and procedures are monitored to ensure on time supply of equipment and materials and in accordance with organisation policy.
2.5 Verification of the project technical design, modification, installation, and/or maintenance of system and equipment parameters is frequently made against specifications and established procedures.
2.6 Project progress is monitored against schedule, quality requirements and budget.
2.7 Conflict issues at the work site and between stakeholders, clients and regulators are identified and managed in accordance with established procedures.
2.8 Variations are managed in accordance with agreed processes and in accordance with the contract.
2.8 Project records are maintained and progress reports written and forwarded to all appropriate person(s).

Element:

3. Complete projects and document

Performance Criteria:

3. Complete projects and document
Performance Criteria: 3.1 Project outcomes are reviewed against original plan, implemented risk strategies, contract variations, safety record, and budget.
3.2 Project completion acceptance is sought from appropriate person(s) and hand over documented in accordance with organisation policy and established procedures.
