Question:

We have a forthcoming porch replacement construction project for a single$-$family home.

As part of our interview process, we would like you to outline a plan to manage this project

effectively. Your task will involve coordinating various aspects, including securing bids

from licensed and insured contractors, organizing volunteer engagement, coordinating a

fundraising event with our fundraising department, issuing a press release, and

ensuring timely completion of construction by August $1$ within a $$25,000$ budget.

Additionally, the family receiving the repair assistance will contribute $10$ hours of sweat

equity, and they must relocate their furniture off the porch and trim back plants

overgrowing the deck.

Your Assignment:

Please develop a detailed plan to manage this project. Create a spreadsheet that

outlines the tasks, assigns responsibility, sets deadlines, and allows for progress

tracking. Identify the cross$-$functional team necessary to execute each aspect of the

project successfully.

Your approach to this assignment will help us assess your organizational skills, ability to

coordinate multiple stakeholders, and ensure project completion within budget and on

time.

How would you tackle this project, ensuring all tasks are completed efficiently and

effectively while maintaining clear communication with all involved parties?
