This course will focus on skills and tools utilized to manage a successful information systems and technology project.  These projects are usually organizational investments that commit considerable time, staff, and other resources to the completion.  Students will be exposed to the application Microsoft Project which is software designed to plan, manage, monitor, control, and support large scale projects.  Student will get hands-on experience with a project during the semester where they will work with a client and implement an information systems project.  

The class teaches the students techniques for managing projects.  They will be creating a number of project management documents based on requirements they get from the sponsor during meetings or other communication.  The student teams generally do a great job.  I will give them guidance along the way, but the team of students will be responsible for completing the project.
