IT 705 (01) - Project Management for Information Technology

This course focuses on a core set of project management essentials that can affect the bottom line of project technical and business performance. These are termed "best practices," and those addressed are: formal risk management, agreement on interfaces, metrics based scheduling/tracking, frequent binary completion milestones, incremental development, people aware management style, and change management. The emphasis is on information technology projects; however, the basic principles are pertinent to a wider class of project domains.
