PRM Project Management Courses at Global Campus

This course provides the foundational principles and techniques to initiate, plan, execute, control, and close projects. Topics such as the project life-cycle management, project organizations and leadership, project team building will be covered. Project management methods and techniques for project charter, scope, schedule, budget, risk management, control and closeout, and project management software are also covered.

Effective cost and schedule management are cornerstone activities of each project. Students will determine how best to plan the execution of a project scope, to consider stakeholder budget and schedule constraints, to use different methodologies, and to establish the performance measurement baseline. They will also discover keys to identify potential cost and schedule overruns and master the tools and techniques to compare actual work accomplished against established plans, as well as work accomplished against actual expenditures. By identifying early warning indicators, students will gain greater insight into potential risk areas and take the necessary corrective action to keep the project in control. Prerequisites: PRM 300, ACC 205 and BUS 308 or MAT 232. Equivalent to INF 337.

The uncertainty of cost, schedule, and performance of projects are risks that need to be managed. Students will examine the positive and negative effects of risks at the “individual” level as well as the effects of “overall” project risk. By learning ways to measure, assess, and respond to risk, students will be better prepared to prevent, mitigate, and control potential risk areas, and be able to take necessary actions to manage the project in the most successful manner. Prerequisite: PRM 337
