Leading Projects

Catalog description

The Leading Projects course explores what it means to bear prime leadership responsibility in the role of project manager. Project Management is the application of knowledge and techniques to project activities in order to meet stakeholder needs by creating a unique product or service. This course should not only help you learn valuable conceptual material, but it should also enhance your effectiveness across many organizations in which projects are planned and executed. Skills acquired by the student are critically important in a business or non-profit environment. Through lectures, exercises and case studies, the student will see how a project management plan is developed, executed and controlled. Application to a real project will follow. 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.
