Course details
This course is designed for project managers in the resources and infrastructure industries and uses core project management (PM) principles to explain the project life cycle and knowledge areas in the context of project integration, scope, time, cost, quality, human resources, communication, risk and procurement. Emphasis is placed on the evolving nature of PM knowledge and therefore to highlight the social principles of project management. Resources and infrastructure case studies expand these principles through key project outputs, such as project, scope statements, and project management plans.
PM industry practice standards are used to illustrate how project success criteria is aligned to the principles of time, resource and cost measurement and the PM functions of estimating, risk management, configuration, and scheduling.
The course uses industry extension standards to expand upon the foundations and demonstrate how standard principles are applied in different industry sectors. It also applies practice standards for work breakdown structures and earned value management to develop and implement work, therefore clearly and objectively seeing how a project is performing against plans.
A number of different PM framework and methodologies are explored to demonstrate examples of PM principles from the perspectives of professional associations and other industry sectors and to emphasise that projects operate according to different business and scope models.
