CS 451 - Project Management

Semester Hours: 4

Project management is the discipline of applying knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to projects; in this case, information systems projects. Organizations typically have a limited number of resources and time that must be used carefully to produce a product or service that meets the desired goals. The course covers a systematic methodology for initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing a project. Project management is a complex team-based activity, where various types of technologies (including project management software as well as software to support group collaboration) are an inherent part of the project management process.
