The course addresses project management from a management perspective. Specifically it will consider project scope (planning), project cost (budgeting), and the issues associated with selecting projects, initiating them, and operating and controlling them while remaining on project scope and budget. We will also cover the difficult problems associated with conducting a project such as using people and organizations that represent different cultures and may be separated by considerable distances. Special topics to be addressed include scope planning, scope definition, scope work breakdown schedule, scope verification, and scope control, cost estimating, cost budgeting, and cost control.
