Studies have shown that nearly 75% of commercial projects are deemed to have not met the expectations of their funding sponsors. As professionals committed to effective project management, how do we change this paradigm? In this course, students start by learning how a project charter refines a project idea in a more concrete project narrative. Students develop a project's work breakdown structure and establish a realistic project schedule and budget. Students conduct project risk identification and assessment sessions to evaluate the overall risk posture of the project. Students will define the communications and change control plans.
