Target Audience:
-
College students who are currently enrolled in a traditional project management
course and who would like some additional materials to review.
-
Entrepreneurs and others who would like to learn a little project management
from scratch without taking a full course.
Required Textbook:
Dr. Owen originally posted these notes as part of a university
course that was based on the following textbook. Since these notes
are still very much incomplete, this textbook is hightly recommended
- either alone or with these notes:
Gido, Jack & James P. Clements, (1999) Successful Project
Management. International Thompson Publishing.
Although the course notes include some issues that are not discussed in
the textbook, they were originally made to dovetail with the book
in a classsroom based course. This is also a good book for do-it-yourself
learning.
Course Objectives:
-
To provide a brief introduction to general issues of project management.
-
To provide insights into problem solving and persuasive presentation of
solutions.
-
To increase awareness of how people people work as team members and as
individuals.
Grading/Certification:
None. You are on your own to assess your
performance on any exercises that are developed.
