Integrated Project Management

Course Background

All projects have several moving parts to keep track of concurrently and a competent project manager plays an important role in resolving any conflicts among those elements. For instance, typically a project manager tasked with managing a project oversees the project schedule, costs, deliverables, risks, goals, and resources. This course aims to equip learner with the knowledge, skills and capability of identifying and bringing all the various elements together to manage a project from beginning to end successfully.

In addition to that, there are various processes, phases and outputs to deal with. Project managers need a comprehensive understanding of how each aspect influences or affects one another and the overall impact on the project. Integrated project management particularly, involves the process, phase, and output that the project manager keeps track of. With our unique approach to adult learning, you can study from home, work, or on the move.

This course develops your learning in four key areas: knowledge and understanding, cognitive skills, practical and proficient skills. All contents of the course must be considered to achieve the expected learning outcome. It is expected that at the end of this course learners will be able to manage cross-functional teams and organise their project interdependencies appropriately. Upon satisfactory participation and completion of the course, the learner should be able to:

• Demonstrate the use of appropriate network scheduling techniques.
• Prepare and produce a technical project proposal.
• Discuss the implementation of a proposed plan.
• identify areas of further personal development to enhance your skills as a project manager.
