Learning Activity 1: Project managers drive change and innovation. Reading about the history of project management shows you the innovation it drove in the past. Now take a moment to think about an exciting product or service that you use - it was also built by a team led by a project manager. Go onto a job search website (e.g. Monster, Careerbuilder, Indeed) and type in "project manager" as a search term. Note how many responses come back, then narrow the search to look for companies that provide the product or service you chose. See what types of project managers they are looking for and find a posting that you might be interested in. Explain where you looked and the number of jobs you found. Then explain why you chose that company, that particular job, and what the requirements are for that position.

Learning Activity 2: Discuss what skill or characteristic is most important in a project manager to ensure project success? Defend your choice and be sure to use the course readings.
