Plan a Real Cross-Functional Project

Take a real (or hypothetical) project and produce the full PM artefact stack — charter, WBS, RAID log, timeline, stakeholder map.

About this project

Most PM portfolios show generic templates. This project produces a real, defensible plan for one concrete initiative — software launch, office move, marketing campaign, whatever you have access to. You will draft a project charter, build a work-breakdown structure, populate a RAID log (Risks / Assumptions / Issues / Dependencies), map stakeholders, and ship a baseline timeline. Bonus: get a real PM to critique it. The feedback is more valuable than the artefacts.

Why build this in 2026?

AI generates first drafts of every PM artefact in seconds. The differentiator is judgement about what to keep, cut, and challenge.

What you'll ship

  • Project charter (1-2 pages)
Work-breakdown structure with realistic estimates
RAID log with at least 8 entries across the four categories
Stakeholder map
