Successful project management requires a blend of both technical knowledge and non-technical skills such as effective communication, organization, and leadership. Students will learn techniques and best practices for all phases of the project life cycle: project initiation and scope, stakeholder management, risk management, work breakdown structure, planning, cost analysis, personnel management, team building, scheduling, monitoring and controlling, documentation, project closure, and transition to operations. This course may be repeated for credit. Six hours can be counted toward a business requirement. This course is cross-listed with MGNT 488. A student may receive credit for this course from only one program.
