Course Description:
This course will introduce you to the core principles,
methods, and practices of the closely related disciplines of program and
project management, and then develop your understanding of how those principles
and practices are subject to adaptation. Topics will include: defining
the field, contexts and influences, critical analysis, pitfalls and protections,
managing people, managing time, managing other resources, troubleshooting,
problem-solving, evaluation, and project reporting. The principles and
methods of this course apply equally well to project management in the
college, the local school system, the corporate setting, and the community
organization.
