PMG 501 - Scope Project Management

3 Credits

This critically important course provides students with insight into how projects are initially defined, evaluated, and ultimately translated into manageable project requirements and concrete deliverables. Defining scope is essential as it sets the foundation for everything that follows. A mutually agreed-upon scope ensures the successful management of other key project management areas, including time, cost, and quality. These areas are the foundation upon which the schedule, budget, resource plan, and the other elements of the overall project management plan are developed. Topics included in this course are scope management planning, collecting requirements, defining product and project scope, creating work breakdown structures, validating product and project scope, and controlling changes to product or project scope.
