Syllabus
1. Introduction
In this introductory module, we develop a core of understanding by presenting a well-established project management framework. We examine the primary organizational objectives of project management itself, and, therefore, the definition of project quality. We also introduce the common language of the project management discipline.
2. Project Definition, Selection and Prioritization
We now examine the role of the functional manager during the initial stages of our project framework.
3. Project Planning and Scheduling
The functional manager’s involvement increases during project planning and scheduling. Here, the functional manager ensures that the work being done by his/her department meets both the project’s and organization’s quality standards and follows accepted practices. This allows us to develop detailed work package definitions and work estimates.
4. Balancing Resources during Project Execution
Once our project begins, resource allocation become critical. In this module we examine techniques for balancing resources among projects and internal functional activities.
5. Project Control
Finally, we look at communication, control and change management
