Many people are actually executing projects $-$ even small ones, like that surprise birthday party for a cousin, or a trip to Uruguay, or the sale of a house, or a political campaign $-$ without knowing they are actually managing a project.

In this class you will find that often you were "doing PM$"$ and even applying specific tools without knowing their names. Discuss some examples of personal or business projects that after looking at the Syllabus and doing some of the preliminary reading defining PM$,$ now appear to you $($retrospectively$)$ to be projects.
