Prioritization Rubric 1 2 3 4 5

1) Enter name of project into column B, under the projects header. 2) Review the project’s implementation requirements and use the drop down to choose the appropriate rating. 3) Each implementation requirement provides an explanation if the cursor is hovered over the requirement. 4) Once all 9 implementation requirements have been completed for the project, a priority rating will be provided. 5) Multiple projects can be reviewed with the rubric and prioritization map is given for a visual view.
