🎯 Learning Intention

I will apply project management concepts and tools to create a mini project plan for my mentorship role in the GIS project.

✅ Success Criteria

• [ ] I can outline the scope, time, and deliverables of my mentorship role
• [ ] I can choose a PM tool (task list, Kanban, or Gantt) to organize my work
• [ ] I can create a draft project plan for next week’s GIS mentoring

🌍 Why this matters

Planning isn’t optional — it’s what makes projects succeed. By drafting your own project plan, you’ll be ready to support juniors effectively in their data collection sprint and practice a leadership skill valued in every industry.
