Course Description

During their careers, managers spend a significant amount of time either participating in or leading projects. While every project is unique, some concepts and tools in project management apply to a wide range of projects.

With that aim in mind, the course will emphasize quantitative aspects of project management while also discussing more qualitative aspects. Key topics include Project Initiation, Scheduling, Resource Management, Monitoring, Valuation, Rework, Agile Project Management, Project Management Analytics and Contracting.
