Life is full of projects. Whether it's something you do at home or something you do at work.
And one of the skills students will need in order to complete projects is project management.

But what exactly is project management?

Project management begins with goalsetting based on the big picture idea of what you want to accomplish. Here, you need to have a clear sense of where you are going and what it will look like when you are finished.

It also involves breaking the project down into tasks and subtasks with clear setting deadlines. Here, you often visualize each part of a task, creating a bridge between the abstract ideas with the concrete actions. In this phase, you also develop a plan of action and select your tools and materials. If you're working collaboratively, you often divide up roles and responsibilities.

Next, you choose and implement specific strategies.

As this occurs, you will begin to monitor your progress. You'll likely run into barriers, which will force you to problemsolve, experiment. You might even need to pivot and reexamine your original goals.

When students learn the project management process, they grow into selfdirected learners, capable of being selfstarters and selfmanagers.
