Project based work is the new norm in business. Effective Project Management is of paramount importance for project success and consequently business success. This course is designed for an MBA level (EQF 7) study into Project Management. In this course, students will familiarize themselves with all the knowledge areas of project management, namely scope, time, cost, stakeholders, quality, human resources, communication, risks, procurement and integration management. The course is fully aligned with the main international standards of project management (i.e. PMBOK and ISO21502). The course covers the relevant project management processes and focuses on specific techniques / tools supporting these processes with an emphasis on the project management triple constraint (scope, time and cost management).
The content of this course is generic, with the aim being that the skills learned can be related to the individual's environment and/or experience by reference to different types of projects. It is important that students relate the course material to their own environment and/or experiences and, where possible, to their own organisations. There is no assumption that students will be currently working in a project environment and you will not be disadvantaged if you have no project experience.
The course follows the best practices and the latest standards and approaches in Project Management globally. It is aligned with the following standards and approaches:
· The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK 6th edition and 7th edition) from the Project Management Institute (www.pmi.org)
· The ISO 21502:2020 – Guidance on Project Management Standard (www.iso.org)
