Project Management Tools

Catalog description

This course will introduce students to the use of project management tools and software to plan, design, and facilitate effective initiating, planning, executing, monitoring, controlling, and closing projects. While students could use a variety of software packages or combination of software, they need to assess a variety of custom tools. Case studies are used throughout this course because the goal is to give students as much of a real-world feel as is possible. In addition to learning best practices in project management, students will have the option to use either Microsoft Project or a combination of other MS Office tools to complete numerous assignments, culminating in the final portfolio project. Upon completion of this course, students should be able to plan and manage a project using appropriate software applications. Prerequisite: PJM310. Recommended Prior Course: PJM330.
