How can we avoid major disasters like the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and the Boeing 737-Max plane crashes? Key to solving these issues lie in the effective use of project management processes, including the critical role of project planning, execution and the ability of project managers to be agile and responsive to changing environments. Project management is the art of getting things done, one that follows proven tools and technique to effectively achieve valuable outcomes but also acknowledges complexities such as competing and sometimes conflicting, priorities, interests, norms and values that must be navigated and negotiated to ensure project success. At the completion of this course, students will learn how a wide range of tools and techniques can be used to plan projects and ensure success while developing the knowledge and skills to navigate complex and uncertain circumstances projects often encounter.
