This activity will provide you with an opportunity to engage in discussion on a project management. The class interaction will foster a learning environment in which you will learn from each other’s experiences and opinions.

The ability to manage a project requires the project manager to utilize a collection of tools and techniques selected for the specific insight, guidance, and usefulness to each project.
