MGT 657 Project Management: Cost, Quality, Risk, and Procurement

This course emphasizes a hands-on approach to using project management knowledge areas to facilitate scheduling, estimating, tracking, and controlling the schedule and costs of the project. A project baseline will be set so that actual schedule and cost variances can be compared to the project baseline and corrective actions can be developed to address the variances. In this course the student can learn about the legal, ethical, and fiscal considerations in procurement and contracts. Students will examine ways of identifying, evaluating and mitigating risk in scheduling, cost control, contracting, and procurement.
