Course Description:
This course focuses on project and program management in an Information Technology (IT) context. Students explore industry-accepted project management processes, e.g., the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) framework, and apply project management concepts. Major topics include planning and management of project communications, scope, time, cost, quality, risk, human resources, procurement, and project integration. Factors that make IT projects unique and difficult to manage are explored, along with tools and techniques for managing them. This course challenges students to gain hands-on project management experience by performing complex project management tasks leading to the development of a project management strategy/plan.
Recommended Attendance:
This course is for leaders without substantial program/project management experience who expect to assume CIO, program executive office, or other middle- to senior-level responsibilities for program/project oversight. This course requires and assumes familiarity with the IT management reform requirements of the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996, including IT architecture and requirements management, IT capital planning, and modular contracting.
Prerequisites
None; however, successful completion of Strategic Information Technology Acquisition (ITA) is recommended prior to taking this course.
Learning Outcomes
Students will be able to assess a project management strategy/plan and develop a plan for an IT project. |
