Mustang School (MS) Instructions: PM Interview Scenario Activity Read through the following project scenarios and brainstorm how you would handle each situation. Be prepared to explain what action you would take, what criteria would go into your decision, and any alternate approaches you might consider. If you require additional information about the situation, please ask prior to responding. PROJECT: You are kicking off a process improvement project for how school leaders report potential discrimination or harassment at their school to the district and authorities. WHAT DO YOU DO: You just shared out estimates for time commitments required by each project team member for the planning phase. You have assigned a large amount of the planning activity (current state research, other district best practice research and high level future state design) to the Chief of Staff of the Student Safety Department. He expresses concern that he is new to his role and not the expert on current state. He believes it should be the Safety Managers who do the bulk of the work for the planning efforts. The Safety Managers consist of 4 peers who are all extremely overloaded with an increased frequency of reports including unnecessary, or incorrectly filled out reports, due to the confusing current process. How do you respond to the Chief of Staff's concern?
