Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques applied to project activities in order to meet the project requirements. Project management is a process that includes planning, putting the project plan into action, and measuring progress and performance.
Managing a project includes identifying your project’s requirements and writing down what everyone needs from the project. What are the objectives of your project? When everyone understands the goal, it’s much easier to keep them all on the right path. Make sure you set goals that everyone agrees on to avoid team conflicts later on. Understanding and addressing the needs of everyone affected by the project means the end result of your project is far more likely to satisfy your stakeholders. Last but not least, as project manager, you will also be balancing the many competing project constraints.
By the end of the course, students will be able to: foresee the risks and challenges that could derail the completion of a project; apply proven methodologies and use current software tools to plan, control, and monitor people; processes, and other components needed to make project successful.
Admission to the Professional Degree Programme in Project Management is open to holders of the HND/HPD, BTS, and DSEP in management, project management, and other certificates related to the discipline.
The duration of the degree program is one year (two semesters) in YIBS including an internship.
For a student to qualify for graduation, a minimum of 60 credits must be earned.
