You (as a team) provide project management
services. Your new project is the installation of a
swimming pool in the garden of Paul, who placed
an order with you. So, you will provide all the
required initiation and planning activities for this
project. Note the following requirement of Paul
relates to the size of the pool: The area shall be
approx. 20 sqm and the depth approx. 1.5 m. See
also the following pictures!

How to proceed for this exercise:

1. Appoint a project manager, who ensures that you can work together as
a team, and who determines in coordination with the team, which tools
you will use, how you will organise yourself, who will take care of what
and by when, etc.!
2. Start your project activities with the preparation of the important aspects
by using a Project Canvas (see next slide and chapter 9 Tool Box)!
3. Proceed according to the activities as described in the project
management phases.

Notes:
1. It is not necessary that you carry out all the steps discussed in the lecture
in detail! Decide which steps are necessary and useful in your project!
2. You may use, if you want, MS Projects for your scheduling (this is not a
MUST)!
