At DASH Tech Management, our Project Management Internship is designed to give you practical, hands-on skills for thriving as a PM in a startup environment. Over the course of 3 months, interns are introduced to real projects, real tools, and the day-to-day mindset of a project manager.

Here’s what our curriculum covers:

1. What a Startup PM Does Daily

You’ll learn the rhythm of a project manager’s day: checking communication channels, tracking updates, following up with the team, and making sure nothing slips through the cracks.

2. Weekly Tracker, Backlog, and Issue Log

We’ll show you how to organize tasks into three simple categories:

1. What the team is doing this week (Weekly Tracker)
2. What’s planned for later (Backlog)
3. What’s broken or needs fixing (Issue Log)

3. Setting Up Project Trackers on Google Sheets

You’ll build trackers that are clean, simple, and shareable – with statuses, deadlines, and responsibilities clearly marked.

4. Documentation & Tracking (with Note-taking)

You’ll practice capturing information from meetings, testing, and conversations, and then placing each note where it belongs – in a tracker, backlog, or issue log.

5. Your Role as a Project Manager (Simple Guide)

We’ll break down the PM role into its simplest form: providing clarity, tracking work, and helping the team deliver.

6. How to Test a Product Designer’s Task

You’ll learn to review Figma designs critically – checking for flow, consistency, and completeness.

7. Testing a Frontend Developer’s Task

You’ll gain confidence in testing features, spotting bugs, and verifying that the final product matches the design.

8. How to Manage a WordPress Project (Step by Step)

You’ll manage a WordPress project from start to finish, making sure content, plugins, and client expectations stay aligned.

Why This Matters

By the end of the internship, you won’t just understand what project management is – you’ll have the practical skills to manage real tasks, track real projects, and work with real teams.

This isn’t theory. This is startup project management in action.
