Implementation (45 Marks)
Keep an implementation log (like a diary) which shows the different stages of your implementation and explains the skills you have used. You will need to use MS Word or Publisher to complete your implementation log.
- Ensure that you take screen shots of your versions as you go. You need at least two previous versions. Remember to number your versions!
- Annotate these versions by;
- indicating what still needs to be done
- describing any changes you want to make and why
- explaining any differences from the design
- Indicate clearly which is your final version
- Use screen shots to demonstrate the important skills and techniques you are using (e.g. hyperlinks, inserting pictures, drawing tables)
- Cross reference your versions (“As you can see on version 1 …”)
- Explain your reasons for the final version (“I am happy with this version because …”)
| Marking criteriaImplementation – should show stages and include annotation.Implementation must match design otherwise maximum mark is limited to 36 – this also applies where a candidate has “Justified” software features in design but chosen to use a different type of software.
Implementation mark moves down a box unless there is a clear annotation to explain why changed from design. No candidate annotation but development stages – maximum mark of 27 for all tasks. No candidate annotation and no development – Tasks 1 and 3 limit of 18 Tasks 2 and 4 limit of 9 |

| Spreadsheet implementation – development implies that formulas/ functions used are displayed to achieve 19+ | Database implementation – development implies that results of queries/reports/labels are explained and shown to achieve 19+ |
