Project Manager
1. Zuhura has been an Intern for 7 months. Over the 7 months, she’s become very busy.
2. She facilitates the Reach Up! curriculum to two sets of participants, which includes facilitation as well as all the record keeping, like sending the participant register for each class.
3. She’s coaching three groups of participants, once a week on their livelihood projects
8. On Friday of last week, Giselle said she’d like to see more ideas and stories posted to the intranet. There didn’t seem to be enough activity or information sharing. Zuhuravolunteered to look at it and see if she had any ideas.
9. Very soon, she will begin thinking about her life after DOT so she needs to develop her professional ePortfolio to showcase her skills to potential employers.
10. How does she juggle all of these things? Let’s look.
11. It’s 7 am on Monday morning and Zuhura is ready to begin her week. The first thing she does every day is look at her calendar to double check her schedule for the day.
12. Whenever she has to-do items that repeat she puts each instance on the calendar. A daily to-do is to schedule time to record her reflections on the day. She added submitting her weekly expense claim to the end of the day each Friday.
13. Her timecard is due at the end of each month, so she has a to-do the last working day of every month to make sure.
14. She notices she has time this morning to schedule some of the items on her To-Do list,
15. Plus, she needs to add a few To-Do items based on her latest conversation with her ISM. She leaves items on her To-Do list until they are scheduled on her calendar.
19. She see’s that she has time on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning to review the DOT site and think about ways to generate more postingsfrom Interns in the field.
20. On Wednesday, she has three potential hours to use for this task, if she can find someone to help her make sure that the classroom is set up for the participants.
21. She recalls that Sentwali, one of her participants, is good with computers. He has caught on quickly. She decides she will talk to him about helping her if he can. It might take more time now but free up some time later. She adds that to her To-Do list
22. The meeting with Giselle, her ISM, is next week and she wants to be prepared to share her ideas. She creates a task list for preparing. Here’s the first draft of her list.
23. Then she begins to work on the agenda for her meeting with Giselle. She knows that she’ll work on her task list for the meeting and the agenda at the same time. As she comes up with new agenda items, she’ll have to figure out what tasks are needed to prepare.
24. She thinks about the items that she would like to discuss with Giselle and begins to build a meeting agenda that she will propose. Zuhura and Giselle have an hour and a half together and she knows from experience that Giselle will need about 30 minutes to talk about items on her agenda.
25. As Zuhuraworks on the agenda, she quickly realizes that they will run out of time. She will need to send some of her thoughts to Giselle ahead of time so that they can save their time together to discuss anything that is unclear or needs immediate attention.
26. She checks the time. It’s time for her first appointment but she feels in control of her day and is beginning to see how her week will shape up.
