Course Description

 Project Management will be presented using the structure and vocabulary used by PMI (Project Management Institute) and the Project Management reference book (PMBOK Guide).

The PMBOK Guide is process-based, meaning it describes work as being accomplished by processes. This approach is consistent with other management standards such as ISO 9000 and the Software Engineering Institute's CMMI.
Processes overlap and interact throughout a project or its various phases.  

The course will cover at least 8 out of the 9 knowledge areas described in the PMBOK Guide and required for the PMP certification:

  1. Project Integration Management
  2. Project Scope Management
  3. Project Time Management
  4. Project Cost Management
