Course Description:
'' This course will provide the student with an understanding of the history, current practice, and future directions of project management. Principles and concepts of project management will be presented and discussed within the context of the knowledge areas and process groups defined in the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK).
Pick up almost any business magazine from the last five years and 9 times out of 10 there will be an article in it relating the story of a failed project. While numerous factors contribute to these failures, many of them are attributable to ineffective project management. In reaction to this history of failures, project management has become recognized as a discipline to be studied and learned, not just something you do when you are not doing your real job. Also during this period the Project Management
Institute created and published their Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), which has been adapted as an ANSI Standard. Membership in the Project Management Institute (PMI) has grown from 8,000 in 1991 to over 200,000 today.
Through text readings, online lecture readings, discussions, assignments, and use of case studies, the student will become familiar with project management theory and techniques and learn how to apply them to real projects.
Unlike training courses, offering project management at the graduate level allows a more in depth exploration of the theory, context, and techniques upon which project management is based. Successful completion of this course will prepare students for further study in the Masters Degree program.
