You have been selected to be the project manager (for a project of your choice). The project you choose here will be used again and you may be asked to reference this project in subsequent weekly discussions. The project that you decide to use should meet the key criteria of a project, such as (a) having a beginning and an end; (b) results in something being delivered to someone; (c) requires a series of activities that must be done to complete the project; and (d) requires resources (e.g, people, materials) to complete the work. The project can be one of a personal or professional nature.  

Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you define the scope of your chosen project. In your paper, you must:

Provide a summary of your chosen project.

Describe at least three (3) project goals and three (3) project objectives.
