Project Management Case Challenge

A Full-Cycle Project Management Simulation

Announcements

Welcome to the Project Management Case Challenge

The 2025 Project Management Case Challenge has officially launched with 225 participants representing 10 universities and multiple organizations across the region.

Overview

The Project Management Case Challenge is a simulated learning experience designed to provide participants with hands-on experience working through a complete project lifecycle, from initiation to closure, guided by PMI best practices and methodologies.

While each scenario includes guidance in the form of templates and resources, the challenge is designed to encourage independent problem-solving. You will be expected to conduct your own research, apply critical thinking, and leverage learning tools such as PMI Infinity to develop and deliver your project outputs - mirroring the realities of professional project work.

At the end of this challenge, you will deliver a final presentation showcasing your project management journey and the skills you learned, serving as a valuable artifact for your professional portfolio.

This challenge was conceptualized and developed by Yang Ong, in partnership with PMI-LA and UCLA’s Master of Applied Statistics & Data Science Program, as part of an initiative to bridge applied statistics, modern project tools, and experiential project management learning.

Learning Objectives

  • Apply PMI best practices throughout the project lifecycle
