1. Prepare opening comments that give the class an overview of project management.
2. Provide the class with a glossary of the most important project management terms and definitions.
3. Think of a common event like buying a new home, and show the class how a project manager might handle the matter.
4. Create a short scenario with 4 – 6 tasks, some of which depend on each other. You can use the two preceding cases as a model. Develop a sample answer that you will show the students after you give them a chance to analyze the tasks.

The computer science instructor at Pleasantville High School has asked you to visit her class and give a presentation about project management. You have just a few days to prepare, and you need to develop a presentation that briefly describes project management tools and techniques. You can be creative, and you might want to include examples of actual projects that you know about. In any case, try to describe how projects are planned, scheduled, monitored, and reported upon. Your presentation can be in the form of a Microsoft Word outline with notes, or as a set of PowerPoint slides.
