Project Management Overview
Almost all informatics endeavors require sound project management that organizes and manages resources in such a way that the resources deliver all the work required to complete a project within defined scope, sequence, quality, time and cost constraints.
A project is a temporary, one time, activity undertaken to create a product or service. This property of being a temporary and a one-time undertaking contrasts with processes, or operations, which are permanent or semi-permanent ongoing functional work to create the same product or service over and over again.
At the end of this course students will be able to allocate resources to complete complex projects derived from a statement of work (SOW) with multiple participants.
From the SOW one can check
overall progress |
Track appropriate Milestones and track which individuals are accountable |
Provide management risk assessment and progress |
