CPIT 435 Needs Assessment and Technology Evaluation Introduction • When choosing between Product A, B or C, which product most closely matches your needs? For most people and organizations, they simply guess. “This one just seems to be the best.” “This is the number one product out there, so it must be good.” “But my friend sells this one and he tells me it is really great.” There is no objectivity or way to tell what is fact and which is fiction.
CPIT 435 Needs Assessment and Technology Evaluation Weighted Scoring Model • Definition: • A method of scoring options or solutions against a prioritize requirements list to determine which option best fits the selection criteria. • It can be use when you have to make selection between projects / products or anything where we must compare one item to another.
