ADIT 3300 Project Management

Participation in IT projects can happen from a variety of angles; from individual contributor, to project team member, to project manager and executive sponsor. As such, this course will take a 360-degree perspective on project management, incorporating the important peripheral elements that influence the discipline. This course will help students develop practical skills for functioning in a variety of roles on projects, including project manager, while developing an appreciation for the importance of governance and project and portfolio management (PPM) in an IT environment, looking at the concept and the practice of projects from the perspective of participant, practitioner, and executive sponsor.
