The course reviews how project management differs from operations management, in terms of their uniqueness and the short term nature of projects compared with the relatively repetitive and enduring nature of operations.

Topics covered include project requirements, work breakdown structures, life cycles management, risk management, and general project management theory. Applied Software: Microsoft Project.
