Syllabus Overview
This
course provides a systematic and thorough introduction
to all aspects of project management. Projects are an
increasingly important aspect of modern business, so we
begin with the relation between projects and the
strategic goals of the organization. The course provides
the technical, cultural, and interpersonal skills
necessary to successfully manage projects from start to
finish. The course emphasizes that project management is
a professional discipline with its own tools, body of
knowledge, and skills. Concepts are reinforced by case
studies covering a wide variety of project types and
industries.
The course covers both the managerial and technical
skills required to plan projects, acquire the necessary
resources, and lead project teams to successful
completion. Topics include the strategic role of
projects in contemporary organizations; organizational
cultures, structures and managerial styles; technical
management tools (WBS, network diagrams, estimating
times and costs,risks, and earned value); dealing with
customers, vendors, and subcontractors; leadership; and
managing teams.
An examination of project management concepts, including
organizational forms, planning and control techniques,
and the role of the project manager. Develops the skills
vital to effective management of multidisciplinary tasks
through lectures, case studies, and business
simulations. (4 cr.)
