Project Manager Intern Assignment (Planning + Sprints + Estimation + Risks)

Evaluation Criteria

  • Ability to break ambiguous work into shippable scope
  • Sprint planning and prioritization across multiple projects
  • Estimation thinking (assumptions, capacity, buffers)
  • Risk analysis + mitigation + escalation triggers
  • Communication artifacts (status update, RAID, simple reporting)

Context: 4 Projects (same scope for everyone)

  1. Video-to-Notes Platform READ MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT
  2. LinkedIn Automation Platform READ MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT
  3. DOCX Template → Bulk DOCX/PDF Generator READ MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT
  4. Character-Based Video Series Generator READ MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT

Assume team capacity:

  • 1 Backend, 1 Frontend, 1 GenAI, 1 QA (50%), 1 Designer (25%), 1 Product Manager, 1 Project Manager (You) Timeline: 4 weeks (2 sprints of 2 weeks each) for an internal demo MVP

Problem 1: MVP Definition (1 page)

For each of the 4 projects, write:

  • MVP scope (3 bullets)
  • Out of scope (2 bullets)
  • Acceptance criteria (2 bullets)
  • Dependencies (1–2 bullets)

Your Solution for problem 1:

You need to put your solution here.

Problem 2: Sprint Plan (2 sprints, 2 weeks each)

Create a plan that delivers an internal demo MVP across all 4 projects.

Must include:

  • Sprint goal for Sprint 1 and Sprint 2
  • For each sprint: top epics/stories per project (bullet list)
  • Cross-project “platform items” (auth, job system, storage, logging) as a shared track
  • QA + hardening items in each sprint (not all at the end)

Your Solution for problem 2:

You need to put your solution here.

Problem 3: Estimation + Capacity

Provide:

  • Estimation method (T-shirt sizing or story points) and why
  • Capacity assumptions per role (how many days available per sprint)
  • High-level sizing per project (S/M/L)
  • Buffer strategy (how much and where you apply it)

Your Solution for problem 3:

You need to put your solution here.

Problem 4: Risk Register

Create a risk register with 10 risks across these projects.

For each risk include:

  • Risk
  • Impact (H/M/L)
  • Probability (H/M/L)
  • Mitigation
  • Trigger signal
  • Contingency / fallback

Must include risks around:

  • AI output quality + review loops
  • LinkedIn OAuth/token expiry + rate limits
  • Bulk generation partial failures + per-row reporting
  • Large video upload/storage cost + timeouts
  • Background jobs stuck/retry/idempotency issues
  • Privacy/PII + access control mistakes
  • Scope creep across 4 parallel tracks

Your Solution for problem 4:

General Questions (answer briefly)

  1. If leadership wants a demo in 10 days, which 2 projects do you prioritize first and why?
  2. What are your top 5 delivery health metrics for this program?
  3. How will you keep stakeholders aligned when requirements change mid-sprint?
  4. What’s your “Definition of Done” for an AI workflow feature?
