PM 512 Applying Advanced Project Management Tools and Methods
This course ensures a `master level' understanding of key tools and project management methodologies in the project and program manager's toolbox. Students will first learn to evaluate the use of various project management methodologies (waterfall, agile, six sigma, PRINCE) to use in varying business and project situations. The student will then learn how to evaluate and select the right suite of project management tools based upon what is being measured, project or program structures, local or distributed team environments, and alignment of tools to business goal achievement. Both strategic tools (portfolio maps, roadmaps, complexity assessments, strategy alignment matrices) and operational tools (budget reports, time management tools, program maps, project dashboards) will be applied in this course.Pre-requisites: PM501, PM504, PM507.
