Project Management Course Project

For this project you may choose one that is of interest to you, or you may choose to begin planning for your senior project. When selecting a project, avoid picking one that is either too big or too small. For example, do not decide to build a new stadium for your local sports team (too big) or to plant your summer garden (too small).

Some successful project ideas:

The opening of a coffee shop

An open house for a local social service agency

A meditation pool and platform

A redevelopment of a local playground

Design and installation of a computer network for a small business

Software development project

A project to build a house is NOT acceptable.
