A new course, first piloted in Fall, 2020 is being opened for full enrollment in Fall 2021.\u00a0 AD782 is now part of the Project Management program and it’s about a more holistic view of PM.\u00a0 The course, called Project Value Strategies, is in already fully aligned with the sweeping changes coming in the new edition of the PMBOK\u00ae Guide, in particular the focus on strategic project value<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this course, you’ll be learning about Project Value \u2013 a unique perspective on classical Project Management that is focused on assuring that a project delivers in full alignment with the values of an organization. This increasingly popular framework with which to view our discipline strategically is derived from current research, standards, and thought leadership from PMI and other international bodies.\u00a0Together with other students, you\u2019ll learn how to take on this holistic view of projects, project management, and importantly, its expectations of project managers.\u00a0It\u2019s to your advantage \u2013 and that of your organization – to get on board now with this thinking, to be a thought leader amongst project leaders.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Students will (quite interactively!) learn how to create and measure value in projects even in today\u2019s disruptive, turbulent, pandemic-prone environment, using recently-introduced schema, and with a focus on Benefits Realization Management.\u00a0 They work independently on proposing a transformation for an organization.\u00a0 In fact, during our pilot of the course, one of the students took their class project to their own company (a large pharmaceutical firm) as a formal proposal and received a monetary innovation award!\u00a0 In this case, the course truly had value!<\/span><\/p>\n

To make the course more accessible not only to Project Management students, we have made the basic PM100 Laboratory badge the only pre-requisite for his course.\u00a0 AD782 has pertinence for students in Marketing, Finance, Innovation, and Analytics, all of which also are about adding value to their organizations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please consider this course as an elective for your learning.\u00a0 It\u2019s a valuable choice.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

The course is offered Thursdays from 6 to 8:45PM on campus, and will allow virtual\/remote participation of students by arrangement.\u00a0 The description is <\/span> here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
