Contextual Information

For this final project, you can assume the position of a project manager over a project of your choice, so long as it meets certain criteria:

· The project requires multiple people involved

· The project requires at least 5 external resources (these can be physical resources such as rentals, sub-contracted work for specialized tasks, etc.)

· There is a time-bound requirement

· There is a cost limit

· There are at least 8 phases to the project, some of which must be finished in order for others to start (preceding tasks)

· There are clear acceptance criteria for client approval and project closure

Remember that you have a wide range of options here. You can oversee a construction/building project, a technology implementation project, a large event, etc.

This is designed to give you a great deal of flexibility. Feel free to use a current project you’re completing at work, or if you prefer, create a hypothetical scenario of your own choosing. Complexity is not the focus here; rather, the goal is to demonstrate your understanding of and proficiency with applying the project management concepts we’ve covered in the course.

If you have any questions as to whether your project meets the 6 criteria listed above, please reach out to your instructor.
