Though never having held the title of project manager or coordinator, I have held the responsibility of research, planning, and executing multiple projects in multiple environments. I do not count 'general tasks' as projects such as general maintenance whether preemptive or break/fix. I do count any item in which I am in the lead that requires two or more people on a task which does not take less than two weeks to handle. Generally speaking, projects have been mostly within the realm of Information Technology.
