Assessment objectives

Assessors don’t evaluate the requirement as one sentence; they walk these objectives one by one. Each must be met for the requirement to score.

  1. 3.13.3[a]user functionality is identified.
  2. 3.13.3[b]system management functionality is identified.
  3. 3.13.3[c]user functionality is separated from system management functionality.

Inside Valontir, this requirement carries a full plain-English guide: what it asks in normal words, what good looks like in a small shop, the evidence an assessor accepts, the common gaps that cost points, and a plain reading of every assessment objective shown above. See it in a demo.
