Start your first project!

Using the principles from the class, choose a project and revamp your approach to how you manage it. Remember, you don't have to be a project manager — we all manage projects and processes. Whether you're managing a recurring meeting, embarking on a new campaign, or starting a relationship with a new client, you can apply the principles from this class to your work. Things to consider:

Are your goals for your project SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound?
Have you looped in stakeholders who need to stay informed or approve your plan?
When creating your project plan, are your timelines reasonable and have you assigned different aspects of the project to teammates or stakeholders?
How will you communicate throughout your project?
If you'll do this project again, remember to carve out time for reflection so you can improve.
