What skills are required in DECA's Project Management Events?

• A. Project management skills to initiate, plan, execute, monitor and control, and close a project.
• B. Skills to run a marketing campaign.
• C. Skills in financial accounting.
• D. Skills in public speaking only.

Answer: (A)

The main concept here is managing a project from start to finish using the full project management lifecycle. DECA's Project Management Events test your ability to initiate a project, plan its scope, schedule, and resources, execute the plan, monitor and control progress, and finally close the project and review results. This comprehensive skill set ensures you can lead a project through every stage, handle changes, coordinate stakeholders, and deliver outcomes.

The option that describes this entire lifecycle is the one that fits best, because it embodies the broad, integrated approach required for project leadership. Other choices focus on narrower areas—running a marketing campaign, handling financial accounting, or public speaking only—which don’t cover the complete sequence of planning, executing, and closing a project.
