<p>This course provides students with the opportunity to apply Project Management knowledge and skills to real organisational issues. Students engage in case study analysis and provide Project Management solutions, manage the project selection process and engage in Project planning. The course is aimed at middle level managers who may observe the project management process, and are likely to have project managers reporting to them or possibly working with them. 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 Institutes (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.</p>
