Define & Describe Project Management -
1. I will first define and describe the competency of project management. Project management is exactly what it sounds like. It is the skill, knowledge, or competency of being able to manage a project. Being able to manage any project is quite an accomplishment. Especially, if that project is work or school related. "Schedule management includes the processes required to ensure timely completion of the project." (Pm4dev, 2021, p. 3) This scheduled management is overseen by a project manager as well as everything else that is occurring in the project like cost, time, assigning roles, etc.

Importance of Project Management -
3. It is important for my professors to include project management within the organizational leadership degree program. It is critical because everything ties into one another. Leadership, project management, and organizational leadership have numerous similarities. It is important to understand those similarities and connect them. I need to be able to execute all of them individually as well as a collective whole.

Project Management Artifact Description -
5. I will now introduce my personally created project management artifact. I have attached a PESTLE analysis for Southwest Airlines. This was a group project I completed for the course OGL 355 which is a leading organization innovation class. I decided to display this because I had taken lead for this group project. I laid the groundwork, kept everyone in the loop, and made sure it was completed on time. I reached out to consult with my classmates to make sure everything was in tip top shape. I am proud of the work completed by me and the team. This artifact has immensely helped with my project management skills.
