Project Management Concepts
Course Description: 3 Days
Project Management Concepts is a 3 day comprehensive introduction to project management theory and application using the Knowledge Areas and Processes of the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) as a framework. Using a combination of theory based lecture, case studies, and practical exercises, students are introduced to the project management best practices associated with planning, executing, and controlling projects. Students use a typical case study (custom case studies can be developed upon request) to analyze the project business case and deliverables, develop project Scope, Schedules, and Quality objectives, and investigate project execution and change control.
