Project management is the structured approach of managing a project from the beginning of the project to the end. It incorporates defining the scope of the project, setting objectives and goals, monitoring timelines and resources, staying within the defined budget, executing tasks and plans per specifications. It requires the allocation of resources in an ethical and efficient manner while ensuring deadlines and budgets meet stakeholder expectations. Finalizing the project with successful outcomes.
Project management makes me a leader by giving me the tools to successfully plan out the project, breaking down tasks and prioritizing items efficiently to stay on target. Strategically allocating resources and budgeting appropriately while keeping the team focused on project goals. Reinforcing clear communication with the team to lead with integrity and vision. Mitigating risks and planning for contingencies. Being open and available to my team to identify savings to provide value for the stakeholders.
The Project Proposal from PMG 320 is the artifact I am presenting. It is from an ASU class where our team (G7) put together a proposal to construct a pizza oven for a client. The project was based on learning project management methodologies. Our team ultimately went with the predictive approach based on the project scenario. In this assignment we worked as a team planning the project and reviewing the requirements for a project to be completed. It was a great introduction to project management.
I am including this competency because project management is an important skill for Organizational Leadership students to know. Not all leadership positions will entail leading projects in this way, but the fundamentals of planning, working with stakeholders, defining scope, monitoring, risk aversion and execution are powerful skills for leaders across the board. This project reinforced building strong decision-making skills which will be valuable in all areas of leadership. I was able to foster teamwork as we strategically planned the execution of the project. One of the most important parts of the project was building relationships.
This journey I am on working towards an Organizational Leadership degree has been significant. Working a full-time (very busy) job and going back to school after many, many years has been a learning experience in life management as well as project management. There is now only work and school. Learning project management competencies has helped me approach work situations with more structure and planning. I am working on communication and leadership within my team at work and have found critical thinking to be very useful in both work and personal settings. I have enjoyed learning better communication skills that focus on establishing shared goals when working on a project.

The importance of this competency is possessing management skills to use in my personal and professional life. This is part of my Organizational degree program because it has a direct correlation to being in a working environment with colleagues and managers. Utilizing this skill to set goals for my work and prioritizing my day more efficiently. I have also used this skill at home in working on a big project where I had to schedule tasks according to priority. Setting up a budget to manage resources created a more successful outcome.
