Introduction
Project Management
MET AD 642
Explores modern project management by providing an enterprise-level, experiential view of the discipline focused on connecting projects to the organization's mission, vision, and values. The theme of the course is applying key project management tools and techniques, through case-based group work, which helps students identify, analyze, and develop practical proposals to real-world issues. Groups select, plan, report, and then present their project's scope, schedule, cost, risk, quality, and communications elements using tools such as the WBS, network diagram, PERT estimate, Gantt chart (including the use of MS Project), risk register, and heat map. Students also gain familiarity with important new concepts in project management: Agile frameworks, sustainability thinking, and Benefits Realization Management, all of which are important for their success not only in other graduate courses but also as they lead projects for their organizations to provide lasting, triple-bottom-line value. The course is aligned with the latest PMBOK Guide from the Project Management Institute.
