PA 1200 - Project Management Basics


Project managers are natural problem-solvers. They set the plan and guide teammates, and manage changes, risks, and stakeholders.  Project managers also continually learn a variety of skills and techniques to ensure they are successful in managing their projects.  This course introduces students to the fundamentals of project management from the planning phase through project closure.  (This is not a prep course for the PMI certification but an overview of traditional project management practices). Students will engage in cooperative, self-directed learning as they work on developing their project management skills.   The course will cover the five process groups of traditional project management: Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring & Control and Closure.  Students will produce several project management organizational asset deliverables during the semester. 

Anticipated Terms Offered: spring
