Instructions:
Base your understanding of the use of the Weighted Attribute Scoring Approach to evaluate project solutions (just after …the heading Evaluating All Possible Outcomes to Determine the Best Project Solution-in the online version) of your Resch text. Referencing these project solutions and the analysis depicted in Table 9.3, Weighted Attribute Scoring Matrix, synthesize the analysis into a paper with your recommendation for the one project to be eliminated. The paper should include an individual evaluation section for each project then an overall comparison to validate your recommendation with logical deduction from your understanding of each project’s ability to address the attributes according to the weighted score. The final recommendation should identify and defend a final project to be eliminated. You should also be using correct APA formatting for your in-text citations to justify your discussion and place references at the bottom of the paper. Avoid using quotations, you should paraphrase the material and use an in-text citation to give credit to the reference. You should include at least different 3 reference sources (a scholarly peer reviewed type article, the PMBOK® Guide and PMI®, etc…) and include a minimum of 6 intext-citations.
