You are required to identify and select a project that you have worked on, whether as a project manager or project team member. If you have not worked on a project before or are unable to select a suitable project based on your work experiences, you should select a project that you know about and have sufficient access to the project’s information.   If you decide to select a project outside of your work experiences, there are projects in your local community, your country, the region, or internationally that you may be able to select as a case for this assignment. Please be deliberate in your selection or when choosing a project to work with. You should avoid selecting a project for which genuine information is difficult to obtain or a project for which information is not freely and/or publicly available. You should not select a project that is incomplete or in its conceptual stage.   If you are having serious challenges in selecting a suitable project, and as a last resort, you should reach out to the CI for further guidance and assistance on selecting a project.
