Lab 2.3.3 Prioritizing Business Goals
Step 1: Determine the business goals

1. Use word processing software to create a business goals document.
2. From the sample interview in the FilmCompany case study document, identify and list the business goals that the network upgrade is expected to provide.
3. Identify and list at least four business goals from the case study interview.

Step 2: Prioritize the business goals

1. Rank the list of business goals in order of priority. Base this ranking on the information in the case study document and discussion with other students.
2. List the ranked business goals in a table and assign a priority value as a percentage. The total of the percentage values must equal 100.
3. Discuss your priority values with other students. If there are differences in priorities, discuss why this

Step 3: Reflection
Having prioritized the business goals as the stated objectives of a network upgrade project does not necessarily ensure that the project will be a success. These objectives need to be measured against success criteria to determine whether the business goals were achieved.
Before a project can be declared a success, the objectives must be shown to have met the success criteria statements. Consider and discuss possible success criteria based on the business goals for the FilmCompany network upgrade.
