Programme Objectives
Watch as basic concepts come to life in this comprehensive synthesis of core project management principles. Reinforce the skills you learned in the other core courses and build on your new competencies as you work in teams to complete a realistic week long project case study.
You will propose, plan, and carry out a full-scale project under typical organisational constraints. Follow your project through the life cycle, resolving issues of performance, scheduling, and control as you address questions of leadership and management. Each team member will take a turn as project manager - defining objectives, performing tasks, and producing deliverables critical to the project's success.
You will confirm your mastery of the core principles of project management in this experiential course and gain the hands-on confidence to practice new skills in your organisation. You will receive a copy of Project Management: Strategic Design and Implementation by David Cleland as part of your course materials package as well as a useful glossary of Project Management Terms.
Project Management Applications is an advanced, practice based course and is intended for experienced project managers. It is therefore recommended that you complete at least four other core courses before registering for this course.
