BUMGT2614 Project Management

This course provides students with the opportunity to discover how Project Management knowledge and skills can impact on organisational issues. Students engage in learning the theoretical basis of project management and engage in the project planning process. The course is aimed at students from a wide range of disciplines and is an introduction to the processes of managing projects. It is not the intent of this course to create project managers but rather foster an understanding of the framework and procedures and processes housed within it. The course is based on the Project Management Institute's (PMI) Guide to the project management body of knowledge (PMBOK guide). PMBOK is the sum of knowledge within the vocation of project management. PMBOK includes proven traditional practices that are widely utilised, as well as contemporary practices that are emerging in the profession. PMBOK stands as a guide for good practice in the project management industry.
