This course focuses on the management of projects. The Project Management Institute (PMI), a professional organization for project managers, has produced A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, which documents the knowledge and practices needed by today’s project managers. This guide, along with current research and management trends related to Information Systems project management, provide the framework for material covered in this class. Planning, organizing, staffing, and controlling projects require traditional management skills and an understanding of specific project management tools and techniques. This course starts with an overview of project management concepts, and then focuses on project planning, monitoring, and controlling. It also covers the politics of projects, project staff and teamwork issues, and project sourcing.
