ABOUT THE COURSE
Project management provides people with a powerful set of tools that improve their
ability to plan, implement, and manage activities to accomplish specific objectives.
But project management is more than just a set of tools; it's a result-oriented management
style that places a premium on building collaborative relationships among a diverse
group of people who work together. Nowadays, project management skills are desirable
in virtually every major industry. Aerospace, automotive, business management, construction,
engineering, financial services, information technology, pharmaceuticals, healthcare,
and telecommunications, just to name a few.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
A common mistake made by some entry-level project managers is that they get preoccupied
with the planning and technical dimension of project management and completely rely
on project management software, and they become obsessed with network diagrams, Gantt
charts, and performance variances; they attempt to manage a project from a distance.
After you take this course, you will know that real-world project management is far
more than that. It consists of the formal, disciplined, purely logical parts, like:
defining the project scope and deliverables
developing the work breakdown structure, scheduling, and progress monitoring
resource allocation
budget control
writing the status report
....and more
We call this the technical dimension of project management.
It also consists of the much messier world of implementation, like:
shaping a project culture
motivating the personnel
resolving internal conflicts
shaping customer expectations
sustaining the political support of top management
negotiating with their functional counterparts
monitoring subcontractors
....and more
We call this the sociocultural dimension of project management. The sociocultural
dimension focuses on creating a temporary social system within a larger organizational
environment that combines the talents of a diverse group of professionals working
to complete the project. This course focuses on both the science and the art aspects
of project management.
