Course Description:

'' Communications Management and Human Resource Management represent two of the most complex aspects of managing a successful project, because they revolve around people. This course provides participants with a strong foundation for stakeholder relationship awareness and team leadership, by addressing the interpersonal side of project management. Human Resource Management will focus on the project team, while Communications Management will address the continuous communication that must occur between the project manager, stakeholders, and the rest of the organization.



Students will learn about leadership competencies as they relate to team development and the management of stakeholder expectations. Course topics include: management styles, setting direction, aligning people, motivating and inspiring, team building techniques, team problem solving, conflict management, ethical conduct, negotiating, and leading change. During the course, students will have the opportunity to apply the tools and techniques that are presented as they take on the roles of project team members and stakeholders during class assignments.



The course employs the Project Management Institute’s (PMI®) terminology and covers processes & knowledge areas that are consistent with “A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide®).�
