  WELCOME TO THE IT PROJECT MANAGEMENT CLASS

  Collapse all Expand all

  IT Project Management forms an integral part of any IS/IT department today and as such proper understanding of all the theories and philosophies regarding IT project management is essential. Project management forms the heartbeat of any IS/IT department and as such controls all activities in the systems development life cycle. Knowledge in project management is essential for all IS/IT professionals in order to conduct their duties in a professional and productive way. 

  This course introduces general concepts embodied in the Project Management Institute’s PMBOK, while exploring specialized techniques for IT project scope management, IT project time management, IT project cost management, and IT project quality management among others. 

  The success of many organizations depends on their ability to harness the power of information technology, but many information systems implemented by organizations either fail completely or do not live up to their potential. Organisations are recognising that it is many of the “behind the scenes” activities that result in a successful information system and are investing in project managers and their education. Project managers need many skills above and beyond the technical skills required to implement information systems. Management of time, scope and cost are vital, as are the “soft” skills of managing the team and communicating with the stakeholders.
