solution, either directly or through delegation, by setting priorities and evaluating

resources.

2.11

Given a problem requiring resolution, anticipate the outcome of potential decisions and

predict the expected impact of the final decision.

2.12

For a given activity, assess the impact of procedural/resource limitations and time

constraints on planned actions.

2.13

When choosing among alternative actions, prioritize the alternatives to select the
