QSO 340 Module Two Short Paper Rubric Overview: In this short paper, you will create a general overview of the five PMBOK® Process Groups and an analysis of how two of those process groups apply to the management of the case study for the final project. Additionally, you will identify shortcomings in the project management of the case and make recommendations for improvement. Prompt: Write a short paper based on the five PMBOK® Process Groups and the case study you selected for the final project.
