What is meant by advanced processes changes depending on the type of digital media outcome you are producing or design methodology you are using. Browse the specific topic pages for more information.
Achievement
Use advanced processes to develop a digital outcome
| This involves you: | You can show this by: |
|---|---|
| using appropriate project management tools and techniques to plan the development of a digital technologies outcome | Kanban boards Agile Processes Gantt Charts Version Control Development Logs |
| planning a digital outcome to address a problem, need, opportunity, or interest | Kanban boards Agile Processes Gantt Charts Setting milestone dates Setting lengths of times for tasks |
| managing the development by decomposing the digital outcome into smaller components | Kanban boards Agile Processes Gantt Charts Version Control Development Logs Testing Feedback |
| trialling components of the outcome in an iterative manner | Testing Trialling Feedback Refinement Continuous improvement |
| testing that the digital outcome functions as intended | Testing White Box Testing Black Box Testing Component Testing Summative Testing Feedback Refinement Continuous improvement |
| explaining relevant implications. | You can find more information on relevant implications here. You must choose implications that are relevant to the outcome you are designing. |
Examples of project management and version control tools and techniques include:
- saving backup copies with a logical file naming system
- using collaboration tools
- using simple version control software applications
- using tools or systems to plan tasks and milestones
- adjusting key actions and tasks where appropriate
Examples of relevant implications include:
- social
- cultural
- legal
- ethical
- intellectual property
- privacy
- accessibility
- usability
- functionality
- aesthetics
- sustainability and future proofing
- end-user considerations
- health and safety.
Achievement with Merit
Use advanced processes to develop an informed digital outcome
| This involves you: | You can show this by: |
|---|---|
| effectively using project management and version control tools and techniques to manage the development of a digital technologies outcome | Continually reflecting on the tools used for Achievement and refine your work and how you use the tools |
| using information from testing and trialling to improve the functionality of the outcome | |
| trialling multiple components and/or techniques and selecting the most suitable | |
| addressing relevant implications |
Achievement with Excellence

| This involves you: | You can show this by: |
|---|---|
| developing a high-quality outcome | |
| integrating multiple components effectively to develop a high-quality outcome | |
| applying information from the planning of components to develop a high-quality outcome | |
| applying information from the testing of components to develop a high-quality outcome | |
| applying information from the trialling of components to develop a high-quality outcome | |
| discussing how the information from planning, testing and trialling of components assisted in the development of a high-quality outcome. |
