Project Management: Leading Organizations to Success

Om kurset

Project managers are responsible for the planning, execution, monitoring, control, and success of entire projects. They must be true leaders, motivators, and organizers, keeping all timelines, dependencies, and responsibilities on track. Modern project management theories are changing, and so are the industries that use them. This course presents an integrated framework for setting up organizations and projects for success while setting realistic expectations and commitments. Throughout the project lifecycle, project managers must process large amounts of information. Project management is rooted in gathering and organizing information. This process can be overwhelming, from collecting project requirements and setting up a team to tracking the project's progress and reporting its financial status and value delivered. In this novel course, backed by MIT's reputation as one of the world's leading research institutions, participants will be able to design and manage complex technology projects holistically. The fundamental project management skills acquired in this course will empower them to become more effective project leaders.
