Learning aims B and C
For Distinction standard
, learners will include at least two possible IT solutions to the
given theme or an initial idea in their evidence. The comprehensive research evidence
and feasibility study will provide at least two realistic alternative solutions to an IT
problem. The evidence will be at a consistent breadth and depth. It will identify and
evaluate the project risks and constraints and suggest viable methods of controlling the
risks. For example, for a simulated IT project, learners might identify the lack of skilled
resource in the development team as a risk and might identify the need to recruit an
experienced developer to lead the development. They would also recognise that this
initial cost would be offset if the project is successfully completed. A range of criteria will
allow a good evaluation of the solutions and the justification of the preferred solution
will be supported by logical chains of reasoning.
Learners’ preferred solution or a simulated project will be implemented over the project
life cycle using an appropriate methodology. Learners will perform
consistent and
effective project management processes using an appropriate methodology. For
example, for a simulated IT project, learners might produce an
initial software
requirements specification that outlines the functional and non-functional requirements
of the project. Using the Agile methodology, they would then produce user stories that
facilitate planning of time and resources required to complete the work.
Overall, the evidence will be easy to read and understand by a third party. It will be
logically structured and use technical terms with a high standard of written language,
i.e. consistent use of correct
grammar and spelling, and consistent reference of
information sources.
