Description

The goal of this exercise is to help you better explain your group’s decision criteria and include it in your report. Completing this exercise will also help your team create a successful report. Decision criteria frame the assessment of your solutions/recommendation. You will need to explain to your audience what the decision criteria are and why they are important, then use the decision criteria to evaluate your solutions/recommendation.

Decision criteria will include the following:

  • Reflect the organization’s values
  • Provide useful and relevant information when identifying the pros and cons of a solution/recommendation
  • Give the audience a frame of reference for making decisions

Another way to think about it is that decision criteria refer to variables or characteristics that are important to the organization making the decision (i.e., human resources, budget, real property issues, environmental issues, usability, cost, etc.).

Check out these two websites for a common list of decision criteria that you can also think about and use in your own work:

Do the following:

1:(The issue chosen by our group is The lack of parking spaces at USF.)

  1. What criteria are most important for the audience to know about your recommendation/solutions?
  2. What criteria represent your audience’s priorities?
  3. What criteria are useful when analyzing the pros of this recommendation/solutions?
  4. What criteria are useful when analyzing the cons of this recommendation/solutions?

2: Assess and Analyze information generated in step 1:

  1. Look for overlap in the list of criteria generated by the questions above
  2. Identify the three most useful criteria
  3. Create an outline that lists and defines the three criteria you have chose--explaining what they are (definitions) and why they are important
  4. Include your answers in your report

The information you write in this exercise should be used in your reports.

Project managers and other decision-makers often find themselves in the unenviable
position of making decisions without having all the information they need. Decision criteria is a
way to make sure a group or an individual makes the best possible choice for any given scenario,
with the available information (Cox, 2015). This essay goes over the decision criteria for solving
the lack of parking spaces at the University of South Florida (USF).
The lack of enough parking spaces at USF is a serious problem that needs urgent
solutions. Although the number of students admitted to the institution increase every year, the
number of parking spaces does not. The result has been chaos, with constant heavy traffic, air
pollution, noise pollution, and declining quality of life for students and faculty. The USF's
student-operated newspaper published in 2016 that students get frustrated about the stress of
finding a parking spot at the university each academic year on top of worrying about studies
(Oracle Editor, 2016). Students often miss or arrive late to classes owing to the parking crisis at
USF. The university issues parking tickets double the parking spots available under the
assumption that not all students will be on campus at the same time. The result has been a
disaster.
Among the goals included on USF’s mission statement is the aim “to pr...
