10 Interesting Project Management Term Paper Ideas
Sometimes you are lucky enough to get a list of term paper ideas for your Project Management course from your professor, but other times you may not be so lucky. You may need to tap into a few ideas, so that even if you don’t use them they may actually give you some inspiration for ideas of your own.

Is the format based on practices used by another organization?
