Projects come in all sizes. The largest project I managed was the inaugural Northwest Tea Festival, where I served as the president of the planning committee. As we had never had a large-scale tea festival in Seattle before, everything needed to be created from the ground up, using only volunteer effort and donated supplies. In the end, although it did not quite meet our stated goals, it was successful enough that the festival became an annual tradition that lasted until the start of the pandemic.
I have also taught project management at Seattle Central College. My approach was highly hands-on and practical: student groups chose, scoped, planned, and carried out their own group projects. Of course, as part of this there were conflicts and setbacks, which gave the class direct experience of how the abstract ideas of project management could be applied in many different situations.
