Course Description:
'' Successful projects are critical, because they are how most organizations create new products, systems, or services. Yet too many projects fail because of poor project management. This course introduces students to the foundations of successful project management, especially in a technology environment. Students will learn key project management concepts, then immediately apply them in a hands-on team simulation.
The course approaches project management from the standpoint of managing a single, stand-alone project that is small to medium in size. It takes students through the project life cycle in the same sequence they would face when managing a real project in the workplace. Topics include initiating a project, defining scope, planning a project, executing and controlling a project, and doing closeout.
The course is compliant with the latest edition of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK).
