PROJECT-01 · Foundation · ENGLISH · PLANNED
Start with a delivery problem, build the project artifact, simulate a change and defend the decision.
Study time is an initial activity estimate, excluding extra reading, revision and extended laboratory or project work. Videos and question bodies have not been produced by adding this outline.
No subject prerequisites. Start here; reading support from a trusted adult may help younger learners.

Plan a fictional school exhibition and define what success means. Work without the example, compare two cases, record assumptions and limitations, then self-review correctness, reasoning and clarity.
6–12 questions covering What is a project, Projects versus operations, Outputs versus outcomes and the remaining section concepts, with cumulative retrieval from earlier sections. Include a new transfer problem; 70% unlocks progression.

Combine all three sections: Build a visual plan for a community event using a fictional USD budget. Submit an original worked artifact, evidence or tests, assumptions and a reflection. Rubric: correctness, method, practical usefulness, reproducibility and communication. Self-reviewed, not certified.
6–12 balanced questions sampling every section of Project Management from the Beginning, including interpretation, calculation or reasoning, a misconception and a new application. Passing is 70%; review errors before retrying.
Project charters, schedules, risk registers, delivery simulations and benefits reviews. Guided work leads to an independent attempt, with a diagram, explanation, trace, calculation or tested artifact. Question bodies are generated when opened in your private learning path. Programming submissions are stored as text; the platform does not execute submitted code.
Use original or appropriately licensed datasets. Practical science activities use models or supplied data unless a qualified supervisor has reviewed a physical experiment.
