Special requirements

No special requirements

This subject develops a foundation of concepts and solutions that supports the planning, scheduling, controlling, resource allocation and performance measurement activities required for successful completion of a project. The subject introduces project management from the standpoint of a manager who must organise, plan, implement and control tasks to achieve an organisation's schedule, budget, and performance objectives. Tools and concepts such as project charter, scope statement, work breakdown structure, project estimating and scheduling methodologies are discussed. The central questions the subject addresses are:

• What is a project?
• How do you manage one?
• What is management risk?

The subject provides students with an organised approach to managing the uncertainties that can lead to undesirable project outcomes by identifying and mitigating risks that can result in cost overruns, delayed schedules or failure to meet performance standards.
