    Description: Introduction to project management providing students with proficiency in the processes, organizational structure, and tools that assure that project work yields the desired business results. Project management principles and methodology are provided with special focus on planning, controlling, and managing projects to successful completion.

Behavioral issues include management and leadership, cultural differences, organizational structures, and conflict and negotiation. The technical issues include the relation between the performing organization and the project; determining strategy and project selection; developing the project plan; estimating costs, schedules, and the critical path; methods for determining project status; and risks, quality and procurement. 72.00 hours lecture.
