QSO 640: Case Study One Guidelines and Rubric Overview: There are three case studies in this course. All are designed to allow you to apply project management skills to a real-world situation. The case studies are as follows: • Case Study One: Project Selection and Initiation The first case study will allow you to apply project management knowledge you have gained from the early modules in the course. • Case Study Two: Project Execution, Reporting, and Managing Resources The second case study will allow you to apply project management knowledge you have gained from the later modules. • Final Project: Comprehensive Case Study The final case study will allow you to apply project management skills to a real-world situation. The final case study requires an in-depth analysis of the application of project management concepts. Prompt: The goal of Case Study One is to apply project management skills acquired in the first three modules to a real-world project or situation. At a minimum, you should evaluate the following: • Project Selection Criteria and Prioritization o Weighted and unweighted models o Ranking and prioritization of project proposals • Project Initiation and Planning o Evaluate initiation and planning processes o Project/organizational structure • Project Scope and Schedule Development o Creation of the work breakdown structure Make sure you apply concepts or theories from course material and scholarly resources to support your case study evaluation. Requirements of submission: Evaluation of the case study should be approximately 750 words, using 12-point Times New Roman font, double spacing, one-inch margins, and a minimum of two references in APA format. Instructor feedback: Students can find their feedback in the Grade Center.   Rubric Critical Elements Exemplary Proficient Needs Improvement Not Evident Value Project Selection Criteria and Prioritization Meets "Proficient" criteria and provides real-world examples of project selection and prioritization concepts (27-30) Evaluates the selection and the prioritization processes within the case study, providing details of selection criteria of weighted and unweighted models (24-26) Evaluates the selection and the prioritization processes within the case study but does not adequately connect each model to its associated process (21-23) Does not evaluate project selection and prioritization processes within the case study (0-20) 30 Project Initiation and Planning Meets "Proficient" criteria and brings in real-world examples of planning principles and concepts (27-30) Evaluates the initiation and planning processes within the case study, providing a detailed project overview of planning processes (24-26) Evaluates the initiation and planning processes within the case study but does not adequately detail the project overview processes or has gaps of missing information (21-23) Does not evaluate project initiation and planning processes within the case study (0-20) 30 Project Scope and Schedule Development Meets "Proficient" criteria and brings in real-world examples of projects (27-30) Analyzes and develops the scope and schedule of the project within the case study (24-26) Analyzes and develops the scope and schedule of the project within the case study, but there are inaccuracies or missing pieces of information (21-23) Does not evaluate project scope and schedule within the case study (0-20) 30 Articulation of Response Submission is free of errors related to citations, grammar, spelling, syntax, and organization and is presented in a professional and easy-to-read format (9-10) Submission has no major errors related to citations, grammar, spelling, syntax, or organization (8) Submission has major errors related to citations, grammar, spelling, syntax, or organization that negatively impact readability and articulation of main ideas (7) Submission has critical errors related to citations, grammar, spelling, syntax, or organization that prevent understanding of ideas (0-6) 10 Earned Total Comments: 100%
