Exploring project lifecycle from conception phase to execution phase

What you’ll learn
Define systems, explain their characteristics, and relate them to projects
List and explain all the main steps in the initiation phase to compare proposals and ultimately to select the best contractor
Outline and explain important segments of the project master plan
Build main sections of the project plan (ie schedule, cost, quality, and risk), analyze the project based on them, and assess it to create a project master plan
Evaluate project progress using Earn Value Management System and estimate new completion date and budget for any given project
Requirements
No
Description
There is an ever-growing need for better project management within engineering, business, and technology disciplines, and this course is a direct response to that need. By emphasizing practical applications, this course targets the ultimate purpose of project management: to unify and integrate many stakeholders’ interests, resources, and work efforts to accomplish the overall project goal. Course Objectives:By completing this course, you will be able to:Define systems, explain their characteristics, and relate them to projectsList and explain all the main steps in the initiation phase to compare proposals and ultimately to select the best contractorOutline and explain important segments of the project master planBuild main sections of the project plan (such as schedule, cost, quality, and risk), analyze the project based on them, and assess it to create a project master planEvaluate project progress using Earn Value Management System and estimate new completion date and budget for any given projectCourse Curriculum:Project & Project ManagementSystems Approach and Systems EngineeringSystems Development Cycle and Project ConceptionProject and Systems DefinitionPlanning FundamentalsProject Time Planning and NetworksAdvanced Project Management Network Analyses and SchedulingCost Estimating and BudgetingManaging Risks in ProjectsProject Execution and ControlEngineering EconomicsProject Selection and Portfolio ManagementTextbook:This course is based on the following textbook:John M.
