Provide evidence of your use of project management skills e.g. objective-setting, defining deliverables, identifying resources, setting timelines, project costing, risk management, monitoring and success evaluation.

        Recently, my team was given the project of renovating a school’s interior. My team didn’t have that much of a experience and I knew that if wanted the project to be successful, I would have to use my skills to the utmost (Shapiro, Hoque and Kessler 2013). First of all, I explained the project’s objective to the members so to make it easy for them to follow the pattern. I captured the requirements of the project, specified the deliverable’s quality, estimated timescale and resources to simplify the project and raise the chances of success. In order to offer a direction to members, I developed the management plan while assessing the skills of members before relaying it to group members and motivating them.

        In order to reduce the required cost, I exchanged views with my team and assured that cost was reduced. In other words, I managed the project budget while ensuring that project quality was not being hampered. I was consistent about the efficiency of my team so I collaborated with my team members and set a feedback or monitoring time. When the set time came, I checked the progress of the project and it kept the project on track until it was completed successfully (Meredith and Jr. 2011).
