    Answer the question: Where do you need clarity the most?
    Make sure you’re modeling the current-state of whatever needs clarity (e.g. as-is system, as-is process, as-is webflow, etc…)
    threshold: pts
    Edit criterion description
    10 pts Clearly explained the client situation and identified where clarity is needed and why, and the justification is sound
    7.5 pts Clearly explained the client situation and identified where clarity is needed; however it is unclear why this area needs clarity (lacks justification)
    2.5 pts The client situation is not clear, the area of clarity needed is not clear, and why this area needs clarity not clear

    Answer the question: What insights were gained?
    What insights from this model do you think are going to be relevant to your root cause analysis and/or potential solution?
    threshold: pts
    Edit criterion description
    10 pts Insights identified clearly tie to the model created and where clarity was sought; insights are thoughtful and are clearly relevant to the root cause analysis and/or potential solutions
    7.5 pts Insights identified tie to the model created or tie to where clarity was sought (but not both); insights could be more thoughtful and/or could be more relevant to the root cause analysis and/or potential solutions
    2.5 pts Insights identified do not tie to the model created and/or are not related to where clarity was sought; insights are vague and not clearly relevant to the root cause analysis and/or potential solutions

    Is the model clearly titled?
    Clearly title/label what is being modeled and that it is as-is.
    threshold: pts
    Edit criterion description
    10 pts A clear title identifying the organization as well as the focus of the model is used.
    5 pts Title is included, but not specific (e.g. missing org or missing focus of the model)
    0 pts Title is missing from the diagram

    Are actors and entities clearly labeled (if applicable)?
    threshold: pts
    Edit criterion description
    10 pts Every actor and entity is clearly labeled in all parts of the model
    5 pts One or more actors and/or entities are missing labels, or the label is general and doesn't add sufficient clarity
    0 pts None of the actors or entities are labeled

    Are existing "Systems" clearly depicted and labeled (if applicable)?
    These can either be IT systems OR an existing non-IT system (i.e. paper based or manual)
    threshold: pts
    Edit criterion description
    10 pts Every existing system is clearly depicted and labeled in all parts of the model
    5 pts One or more existing systems are not clearly depicted or labeled, or it does not add sufficient clarity
    0 pts None of the existing systems are clearly depicted or labeled

    Are arrows or connectors clearly used to show interaction of actors/entities/systems/etc (as needed)?
    threshold: pts
    Edit criterion description
    10 pts Arrows/connectors are used in all aspects of the diagram, show clear interaction between items, and are labeled
    7.5 pts Arrows/connectors are used in all aspects of the diagram, but interactions are not clear and/or are missing labels
    2.5 pts While arrows/connectors are used in the model, it is difficult to follow and interpret interactions due to poor layout and/or lack of labels

    Is model legible and easy to read?
    NOTE: The model does not have to be done with Visio or Lucidcharts. Just readable.
    threshold: pts
    Edit criterion description
    10 pts Model is very easy to read (font not too small, quality of image is high, ideas presented are easy to interpret/understand)
    7.5 pts Some aspects of the model are clearly presented and are legible while others are not
    2.5 pts Model is difficult to read (e.g. font too small, quality of image is poor, ideas presented are difficult to follow/interpret/understand)

    Additional Comments
    Are shapes used to depicted parts of the model make sense?
    i.e. try to be clear when picking shapes to depict things. For example, if you use a box to depict a user, that may not make sense unless it is clearly labeled. Even if it is labeled, if you use a box to mean many things, you may consider using unique shapes to describe things better.
    threshold: pts
    Edit criterion description
    10 pts Thoughtful, creative, and appropriate shapes are used in all aspects of the model to clearly differentiate between actors/entities/systems/etc.
    7.5 pts Generic shapes are used throughout the model to represent actors/entities/systems/etc and viewer must read the label of the shape to differentiate between them
    2.5 pts Very few (and generic) shapes were used throughout the diagram; viewer must read all text in model to understand the model

    Does it appear that considerable thought and effort went into this?
    threshold: pts
    Edit criterion description
    10 pts Students have captured a lot of detail and nuances in the model that reflect thoughtful analysis and understanding of the client situation
    7.5 pts Some areas demonstrate thoughtful analysis and understanding of the client situation; more detail and nuance is needed
    2.5 pts The model is quite high-level and broad and does not demonstrate thoughtful analysis or understanding of the client situation

    Additional Comments
    Does the chosen model seem relevant to the project?
    Ensure that the model you have chosen is relevant to model/explain the existing client situation. If it does not add much value/explanation to someone who is not familiar with the project, then the type of model is not very relevant.
    threshold: pts
    Edit criterion description
    10 pts Model is appropriate for the as-is situation and captures the detail needed as identified by the team where clarity is most needed
    5 pts Model type is appropriate but not used to capture the information where clarity is most needed as identified by the team
    2.5 pts Model type selected does not allow team to learn more and add clarity where it is most needed
