Project Selection Case Study

Question 1 - What criteria should Zachary use to evaluate the projects?

As per (Gido J, Clements J., 2015) “Project Selection involves evaluating potential projects, and then deciding which of these should move forward to implemented. The benefits and consequences, advantages and disadvantages, plusses and minuses of each project need to be considered and evaluated. They can be quantitative and qualitative, tangible and intangible”.

One step in the project selection process include the development of a set of criteria against which the project will be evaluated. These will be used to evaluate potential projects and support project selection. In the related case study it could include subjects as:

- Compare the condition of existing roads

It is typically performed by asking prepared and spontaneous questions and recording the responses. Interviews are often conducted on an individual basis between an interviewer and an interviewee, but may involve multiple interviewers and/or multiple interviewees. Interviewing experienced project participants, sponsors and other executives, and subject matter experts can aid in identifying and defining the features and functions of the desired product deliverables. Interviews are also useful for obtaining confidential

Acceptance of the decision will also be greater. One approach to the evaluation and selection process would be to have the evaluation and selection committee meet to develop a set of evaluation criteria. They may also develop some type of rating system (such as High-Medium-Low, 1 to 5, 1 to 10) against which to rate each potential project against each criteria. Then each committee member should be provided with any data and that have been collected, analyzed, and summarized. Before the entire committee meets, each member can individually asses the benefits and consequences of each project against the evaluation criteria. The will give each member sufficient time for thoughtful preparation prior to a meeting of the entire committee. It’s advisable to develop a project evaluation form listing the criteria with space for comments and a rating box for each criteria. Each evaluation and selection committee member could then complete a form for each project prior to coming to a
