Critiquing D.D. Willaimson
D. D. Williamson designed a list of 78 projects in which the organization wanted
to prioritize, organize, and select project for future utilization. The firm used a four step
method to rate each project, while establishing criteria for prioritizing projects, weighing

Members of the team assigned each group a score to weigh each criteria group.
More important groups were given a score of 10, less important groups were given a
score of 6 to 9, and the least important groups were assigned a score of 5 or less. Criteria
are weighted in order to help place the projects in order of importance as they align with
the goals of the corporation (Kloppenberg, 2014). After the criteria was established and
weighted, the list of projects was refined. Projects that were listed as individual projects
but were really one project happening concurrently in different locations were

list on the new project list. There were also projects added to the list that had not been

the list was reviewed to discover which would be considered for possible...
