Clinical Systems B

Catalog description

Many of us have heard the expression “Failing to plan is planning to fail” which is attributed to both Benjamin Franklin and Alan Lakein. Project management is the science and practice behind this planning. Understanding the stakeholders, thinking about the work involved, and scheduling the aforementioned work in advance will likely lead to a project that is delivered on time and on budget. A well managed project also has a good project leader who knows what style of leadership to adopt for the situation. In Clinical Systems B: Project Management and Leadership, students will study two methods of project management, Waterfall and Agile-Scrum. Students will create a traditional Waterfall project charter and project plan, as well as elements used within an Agile-Scrum project. In addition, relevant leadership styles for managing project teams will be addressed.
