Module Description

Learning Outcomes

The purpose of this course is to provide the students with a basic exposure to the tasks and challenges facing project managers, i.e., those people responsible for the vital function of managing complex projects across multiple functions in a global environment. Successful project managers have the abilities and skills to simultaneously manage their teams, schedules, risks, resources, and deliver a successful outcome. The ultimate goal is to learn the skills and tools of the project management discipline, with a practical “hands on” and real world approach. Not to be underestimated is the challenge of managing with influence, a key skill for project managers to gain the support of resources not directly under their management control. Most organizations are matrix managed, which means that resources are shared and temporary. The project manager must be able to use resources efficiently and effectively to achieve the goals and objectives required for a successful outcome – on time, on spec, and on budget. 

Upon satisfactory completion of the course, the students should be able to:: 

•Recognize issues in a realistic project scenario. 

•Employ work breakdown structures (WBS) in a project application. 

•Demonstrate the use of appropriate network scheduling techniques. 

•Produce a project proposal. 

•Discuss the implementation of a proposed plan.

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to: 

•Perceive, interpret and clearly explain issues related to Technical Project Management.

•Compare and evaluate different Project Management techniques and approaches.

•Develop their knowledge about Project Management techniques, approaches, and skills required to balance and implement short and long-range plans for managing projects to completion. 

•Develop their analytical and organizational skills required assessing complex project management challenges, and to develop and execute workable action plans.

•Anticipate non-intuitive linkages in critical decision making processes that have later implications on processes, people, products, and profits. 

•Have a proven critical ability so they can compare and evaluate different statements on the quality of the atmospheric environment (for example, high concentrations of particulate matter from anthropogenic activities and dust transport from the Sahara-Sahara Dust event).

•Work with their fellow students, to create and present both at individual and group level a case study from its initial stages up to the final evaluation and finally to be able to propose new ideas and solutions.

The use of project management software tools will be discussed; however, this is not a course on any specific software package. Students are encouraged to use whatever project management software they desire on the assignments. 

Module Description

The core modules of the course include:

Module- 1: Introduction

Introduction to PM and Syllabus Review

Module-2: Project Organization

Project organization involves selecting an appropriate project organization-structure and establishing the Organizational Breakdown Structure (OBS) for the project. 

Module-3: Project Planning

Project planning involves establishing the Work Breakdown Structure and mapping this structure to the established OBS. Furthermore, a project budget and Cost Breakdown Structure are developed and mapped to the OBS and WBS. The planning phase also includes establishing an appropriate timeline for the project in the context of resource constraints.

•Gannt Diagram
