Projects represent an increasing percentage of the activities of most organizations. Companies regularly use project management to achieve optimum results through the use of limited resources and under critical time constraints. Due to the continuously changing and increasingly complex environment, there are a large number of companies and individual consultants specializing in the management of projects. Nearly every organization is involved in some sort of project, such as construction, engineering, manufacturing, technology development, or telecommunications. The course will teach students the core fundamentals of project management and builds on their knowledge for effectively initiating a project and managing the project scope. It also helps students develop their skills in project management, to recognize and avoid the causes of project failure, and to manage a project from its initial stage to its completion.
