Question 9 (1 point) Saver A project manager is using a simple scoring model to rank four projects based on their importance for organization. The criteria, importance weights, and scores for each are shown in the table. Which ranking is correct (from best to worst)? Project Criteria Importance Weight Score CBDA BCAD CBAD

Answer 1

Let us convert importance weight into percentage by dividing individual criteria weight importance by sum of weight importance

Criteria 1 = Importance weight of Criteria 1/Total Importance weight = 1/(1+2+3) = 0.17

Criteria 2 = Importance weight of Criteria 2/Total Importance weight = 2/(1+2+3) = 0.33

Criteria 3 = Importance weight of Criteria 3/Total Importance weight = 3/(1+2+3) = 0.50

Now, calculate the weighted score of each project which is SUM of (Criteria weight*Criteria score)

Project A = 0.17*3 + 0.33*3 + 0.5*1 = 2.00

Project B = 0.17*2 + 0.33*2 + 0.5*3 = 2.50

Project C = 0.17*1 + 0.33*2 + 0.5*3 = 2.33

Project D = 0.17*2 + 0.33*1 + 0.5*2 = 1.67

So, more the score, higher will be the priority

Correct sequence is BCAD
