NOT EVIDENT A summary of a maintenance strategy is not provided. APPROACHING COMPETENCE The summarized maintenance strategy for the cloud application does not logically address the given points. Or the short- or long-term considerations are not plausible or are not included for each of the given points. Or the maintenance strategy outlined would not meet the needs of the business. COMPETENT The summarized maintenance strategy for the cloud application logically addresses the given points. Plausible short- and long-term considerations are included for each of the given points. The maintenance strategy outlined meets the needs of the business. NOT EVIDENT A submission summarizing elements of a disaster recovery plan is not provided. APPROACHING COMPETENCE The submission does not summarize appropriate systems, processes, or procedures to ensure continuous business operations of the cloud application in the case of a disaster, or 1 or more key elements are missing. COMPETENT The submission summarizes appropriate systems, processes, and procedures to ensure continuous business operations of the cloud application in the case of a disaster. NOT EVIDENT An explanation about maintaining compliance for the cloud application is not provided. APPROACHING COMPETENCE The submission does not logically explain how compliance will be maintained for 1 or more key applicable laws and regulations for the COMPETENT The submission logically explains how compliance will be maintained for all key applicable laws and regulations for the cloud application. https://lrps.wgu.edu/provision/185137645 https://lrps.wgu.edu/provision/185137738 https://lrps.wgu.edu/provision/185137833 K:SOURCES L:PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION cloud application, or the laws or regulations do not apply. NOT EVIDENT The submission does not include both in-text citations and a reference list for sources that are quoted, paraphrased, or summarized. APPROACHING COMPETENCE The submission includes in-text citations for sources that are quoted, paraphrased, or summarized and a reference list; however, the citations or reference list is incomplete or inaccurate. COMPETENT The submission includes in-text citations for sources that are properly quoted, paraphrased, or summarized and a reference list that accurately identifies the author, date, title, and source location as available. NOT EVIDENT Content is unstructured, is disjointed, or contains pervasive errors in mechanics, usage, or grammar. Vocabulary or tone is unprofessional or distracts from the topic. APPROACHING COMPETENCE Content is poorly organized, is difficult to follow, or contains errors in mechanics, usage, or grammar that cause confusion. Terminology is misused or ineffective. COMPETENT Content reflects attention to detail, is organized, and focuses on the main ideas as prescribed in the task or chosen by the candidate.
