This introductory level short course in project management introduces students with little-to-no formal project management training to the professional project management framework applied to run projects in their work environment. The emphasis is on introducing the framework and terminology, teamwork and organization concepts, and basic tools and techniques for starting and running simple projects through in-class examples using a custom workbook (included with the course fee - no other textbooks required). Little to no prior experience with managing projects is expected, so it is an excellent introduction to the subject for new team leaders and participants who need to get started quickly and expect to pursue professional certification later. Students will leave the course with an understanding of professional level project managemenat, and a model project, which can serve as a template for initiating and planning real-world projects in their environments. This course can be taught in 4 separate evening meetings (in one week), or in a 2-day morning/afternoon format, both onsite and online. It is not a prerequisite for, but can serve as an introductory step to ACC’s professional certification program consisting of the deeper and wider team-based experiential 48-hour BMGT 1009 Applied Project Management foundations course, followed by the BMGT 1040 PMP/CAPM Exam Prep course to prepare students for PMI, CompTIA, and other professional certification exams.
