Subject:

Description:

Project managers are, by their very nature, change agents who live in a world of ever-advancing technology. This course explores the process of change, including invention and innovation, diffusion, change provocation, and change adoption. Students examine the necessity of accepting ambiguity and building in flexibility to allow for the unexpected. Students will also learn how to implement damage control in the event that change moves too rapidly. Students will learn to employ the checklist for scope definition which includes project objective, deliverables, milestones, technical requirements, limits and exclusions and customer reviews; implement a change control process for managing scope creep that is both flexible and responsive and yet ensures accountability and yields reliable projections; and redefine project requirements in order to reduce cost or time while minimizing the reduction in project value. Prerequisite: MGMT 6320.
