Class Experience

This course is designed to introduce students to the principles of Project Management and expose them to the career, education and certification options longer-term.  Taught by a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) who has taught for the international certifying body, Project Management Institute (PMI).  The class will be part explanation, part exercises, and part discussing their hands-on experiences between class.

In our first class, we will start out by introducing the concept and definition of a project, and what makes a project manager different from a regular business manager.  They will select an extremely simply project in their life to apply lessons learned in class for the remainder of the course, and learn how to state that in appropriate terms (goal statements--which are more than one sentence in project management!)

Each subsequent class will work through the five major phases of formal project management (initiation, planning, execution, monitoring/controlling and closure) with both explanation of what happens at each phase, and how that set of skills applies to their chosen projects. Each week, we will take that project through the current phase of the project management lifecycle that is being studied.

Students will end the course with a better understanding of project management and how to manage their individual projects while leaving a great deal more to be learned if desired!

PLEASE NOTE CLASS MEETING DATES CAREFULLY--ESPECIALLY WEEKEND CLASSES!
