Intro to Project Management

Catalog description

Project Management is the application of knowledge and techniques to project activities in order to meet stakeholder needs. A project is an endeavor having a definite beginning and a definite end, undertaken to create a unique product or service. Key elements of Project Management will be introduced in this course: scope, schedule, budget, quality, human resources, communications, risk, and procurement. Through lectures, exercises and case studies, we will see how these elements fit into a project management plan, as well as how the plan is executed and controlled. Guidelines presented will be consistent with The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) and be a step towards a possible Project Management Professional (PMP) certification.
