Testing Project Management Skills During Interviews
Seeker 
Hello CS Hiring Managers!
I'm currently hiring my first CSM and am incorporating a "test" into the process where I'm asking candidates to put together a project plan for a hypothetical scenario using the tool we use, Asana, to create tasks, assign them to individuals, enter due dates, include dependencies, apply priority labels, and organize tasks into relevant groups, etc. The candidate would then present the plan to us and explain why they organized themselves as they did.
I need help coming up with a hypothetical scenario that is complex enough to offer flexibility for creativity, but doesn't require a ton of background knowledge. Has anyone done something like this before and can share what they did?
Any help or ideas would be appreciated!
