Report Structure for Assessment 3 Note: The UO specifies the following requirements for Assessment 3 •a student’s personal and original definition of the term professionalism •an assessment of SFIA skills, both specialist and generic, that a student believes are required by their project group to produce Statements of Work, and •an assessment of a student’s current personal SFIA skills, both generic and specialist, with evidence to support that assessment. Max length: 4 pages Report Structure Template (See Part A, B, C and D below) Part A: Define Professionalism: (about ½ a page): Part B: General Introduction to SFIA and its importance: (Please rephrase the following in your own words, do not simply reproduce): The Australian Computer Society (ACS) website recognizes Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA) has a common framework which allows an international understanding of what an ICT role actually involves and identifies the skills required. Many Australian State Governments (http://www.qgcio.qld.gov.au/news-and-events/news/570-workflow/2635-skills-framework-for-the-information-age )observe that implementing SFIA will:  support individuals and supervisors to identify and address learning and development needs  strengthen public sector standards of performance  aid movement between agencies with using common terminology and role expectations  contribute to highly functioning organisations focused on delivering quality outcomes  support managers to clearly describe staff performance expectations. How SFIA can be used?(Rephrase the following in your own words, do not simply reproduce) The SFIA provides a generic set of skills that are desirable at various levels to achieve effective outcomes. By meeting the standards of the International SFIA framework, one can confidently demonstrate ones abilities to employers around the world.SFIA can be used for:  self reflection and personal career progression planning  meaningful performance development discussions  selection and prioritisation of professional development  defining role expectations and developing role descriptions  identifying skills strengths and gaps by conducting skills assessments  succession planning. Part C: SFIA Skills required for the Group Project: (This section does not necessarily have to be same for the group): i) Define SFIA Skills both specialist and generic you think are required to produce the Final Statement of Work (that is to produce assessment 2). The choice of SFIA skills identified here does not need to be same for all students in the group. It depends on each student’s perception of the world. ii) Populate a high level table relevant to your project as follows : Level 1: Follow Level 2: Assist Level 3: Apply Level 4: Enable Level 5: Ensure, Advise Level 6: Initiate, Influence Level 7: Strategize, Inspire strategy and architecture: (specify the relevant lowest level sub category too) Briefly define the kind of responsibility with respect to your project Briefly define the kind of responsibility with respect to your project Briefly define the kind of responsibility with respect to your project Briefly define the kind of responsibility with respect to your project Briefly define the kind of responsibility with respect to your project Briefly define the kind of responsibility with respect to your project Briefly define the kind of responsibility with respect to your project business change: (specify the relevant lowest level sub category too) Same as above Same as above Same as above Same as above Same as above Same as above Same as above solution development and implementation: (specify the relevant lowest level sub category too) Same as above Same as above Same as above Same as above Same as above Same as above Same as above service management: (specify the relevant lowest level sub category too) Same as above Same as above Same as above Same as above Same as above Same as above Same as above procurement and management support: (specify the relevant lowest level sub category too) Same as above Same as above Same as above Same as above Same as above Same as above Same as above client interface: (specify the relevant lowest level sub category too) Same as above Same as above Same as above Same as above Same as above Same as above Same as above Table 1: Relevant SFIA Skills for the Project iii) Provide an expansion of the brief made in the table Part D: An assessment of a student’s current personal SFIA skills: The term current may mean from now to say 3 years from now.
