Course Design |
The principles behind the course design hinges on students working with a running project throughout most of the course. Students will be required to work through and produce various project management reports, documents, diagrams and charts representing various phases of a project, much like a Project Manager would in real life production scenarios. These deliverables include a Project Charter, Project Requirements Document, Work Break Down Structure (WBS) detailed project plan , Network Diagram, Gantt Chart, ongoing project control and closeout documentation. In addition, the Summative assignment will help students summarize everything they learned and exercise their communication skills by delivering a Power Point presentation to an “Executive Team.” Students will also research current best practices associated with quality control, such as Six Sigma. |
