Plan an Independent Digital Project

Learners turn a vague idea into a plan they could defend to a sponsor: a problem statement backed by evidence, a stakeholder map, an explicit scope, measurable goals and deliverables, a dependency-ordered schedule with a critical path and buffer, and a scored risk register with mitigations. One fictional project, a loan catalog for a community tool library, is planned end to end, and new projects in every lesson and the quiz check transfer.

  • 4 lessons
  • About 110 minutes
  • Project planning check: 10 questions
  • Ways to answer: fill in the blanks, choose an answer, highlight a text, match pairs, type a number and put in order

What learners will discover

  • Write a problem statement that names who is affected, the need and the evidence without prescribing a solution, and identify the project's stakeholders and their interests.
  • Define scope (in and out), measurable goals with a measure, baseline, target and date, and concrete deliverables, and handle change requests without silent scope creep.
  • Break work into dependent tasks, find the critical path and minimum duration, and size an explicit schedule buffer.
  • Build a risk register that scores likelihood × impact, ranks risks, and pairs serious risks with a mitigation, a trigger, a contingency and an owner.
