Institute—PMP® Professional Development Units, 15.0 hours.
HRCI—PHR, SPHR and GPHR general recertification credit,

The primary objective of this course is to acquaint
students with a broad overview of project management
and the roles that a project manager plays in the five
primary processes involved in managing projects: writing
an effective project plan; developing successful project
schedules; executing and controlling the project plan;
the “triple constraint” and how it affects the project
manager; and understanding project phases and project
life cycles. The skills needed to successfully play these
roles are identified and discussed. Learning the life cycles
of typical projects provides a basis for understanding
the variety of skills needed, how these skills can be
assembled, and how they relate to each other.
