Consider
the
three
PathSinder
Projects
your
group
COULD
do
together
and
decide
which
one
of
them
your
group
SHOULD
do
together?
Note
them
below
and
rate
them
according
to
two
criteria.
The
Sirst
criterion
is
how
much
impact
the
project
could
have.
Five
(5)
is
high
impact,
and
One
(1)
is
low.
The
second
criterion
is
how
easy
it
would
be
to
implement.
Five
(5)
is
very
easy
and
(1)
is
difSicult.

come
up
with
three
characteristics
of
success
that
you
hope
