We think that your real value add for this course is in your strategy:
 - How do you go about setting your project priorities?
 - What is your approach, or thinking process? 
 - What does your week look like, that you are able to juggle so many responsibilities? 
 - Mentioning Lotus Notes and SharePoint is great, as they are helpful tools, but we are really looking for **how you think about your projects.**
