The theme of the course is applying key project management tools and techniques, through case-based group work, which will help students identify, analyze, and develop practical proposals to real-world issues. Groups select, plan, report, and then present on their project's scope, schedule, cost, risk, quality, and communications elements using tools such as the WBS, network diagram, PERT estimate, Gantt chart (including the use of MS Project), risk register, and heat map. Students also gain familiarity with important new concepts in project management: Agile frameworks, actionable sustainability thinking, and Benefits Realization Management, all of which will be important for their success not only in other graduate courses, but as they lead projects for their organizations so as to provide lasting, triple-bottom-line value. The course is aligned with the latest PMBOK' Guide from the Project Management Institute.&nbsp;&nbsp;[ 4 cr. ]<\/p><table class=\"responsive\">\n\t<thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th>Section<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th>Type<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th>Instructor<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th>Location<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th>Times<\/th>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/thead>\n\t<tbody>\t<tr>\n\t\t<td>A1<\/td>\n\t\t<td>IND<\/td>\n\t\t<td>Mucic<\/td>\n\t\t<td>PSY B33<\/td>\n\t\t<td>M<\/td>\n\t\t<td>2:30 pm &ndash; 5:15 pm<\/td>\n\t<\/tr>\t<tr>\n\t\t<td>A2<\/td>\n\t\t<td>IND<\/td>\n\t\t<td>Athaide<\/td>\n\t\t<td>MCS B29<\/td>\n\t\t<td>T<\/td>\n\t\t<td>6:00 pm &ndash; 8:45 pm<\/td>\n\t<\/tr>\t<tr>\n\t\t<td>A3<\/td>\n\t\t<td>IND<\/td>\n\t\t<td>Maltzman<\/td>\n\t\t<td>MET 122<\/td>\n\t\t<td>W<\/td>\n\t\t<td>2:30 pm &ndash; 5:15 pm<\/td>\n\t<\/tr>\t<tr>\n\t\t<td>O1<\/td>\n\t\t<td>IND<\/td>\n\t\t<td>Kanabar<\/td>\n\t\t<td> <\/td>\n\t\t<td>ARR<\/td>\n\t\t<td>12:00 am &ndash; 12:00 am<\/td>\n\t<\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bu_collapsible_container \" id=\"course-METAD516\" aria-live=\"polite\" data-customize-animation=\"false\"><div class=\"bu_collapsible\" aria-expanded=\"false\"tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><h5><span class=\"cf-course-id\">MET AD 516<\/span> Project Leadership and Emerging Communication Technologies<\/h5>\n<div class=\"sprg-flag\">Sprg  &#8216;26<\/div><\/div><div class=\"bu_collapsible_section\" style=\"display: none;\"><p>This course examines the increasing importance of leadership and communications in projects.

Through the use of case studies of decisions made by managers in various production and service industries and a business simulation package specifically prepared for this course, the scope and breadth of decision-making in business will be described.&nbsp;&nbsp;[ 4 cr. ]<\/p><table class=\"responsive\">\n\t<thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th>Section<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th>Type<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th>Instructor<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th>Location<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th>Times<\/th>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/thead>\n\t<tbody>\t<tr>\n\t\t<td>A1<\/td>\n\t\t<td>IND<\/td>\n\t\t<td>Dickson<\/td>\n\t\t<td>KCB 104<\/td>\n\t\t<td>M<\/td>\n\t\t<td>2:30 pm &ndash; 5:15 pm<\/td>\n\t<\/tr>\t<tr>\n\t\t<td>A2<\/td>\n\t\t<td>IND<\/td>\n\t\t<td>Parzen<\/td>\n\t\t<td>SOC B63<\/td>\n\t\t<td>T<\/td>\n\t\t<td>6:00 pm &ndash; 8:45 pm<\/td>\n\t<\/tr>\t<tr>\n\t\t<td>A3<\/td>\n\t\t<td>IND<\/td>\n\t\t<td>Zlatev<\/td>\n\t\t<td>MET 101<\/td>\n\t\t<td>W<\/td>\n\t\t<td>2:30 pm &ndash; 5:15 pm<\/td>\n\t<\/tr>\t<tr>\n\t\t<td>A4<\/td>\n\t\t<td>IND<\/td>\n\t\t<td>Dickson<\/td>\n\t\t<td>MET 101<\/td>\n\t\t<td>R<\/td>\n\t\t<td>12:30 pm &ndash; 3:15 pm<\/td>\n\t<\/tr>\t<tr>\n\t\t<td>O2<\/td>\n\t\t<td>IND<\/td>\n\t\t<td>Zlatev<\/td>\n\t\t<td> <\/td>\n\t\t<td>ARR<\/td>\n\t\t<td>12:00 am &ndash; 12:00 am<\/td>\n\t<\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bu_collapsible_container \" id=\"course-METAD782\" aria-live=\"polite\" data-customize-animation=\"false\"><div class=\"bu_collapsible\" aria-expanded=\"false\"tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><h5><span class=\"cf-course-id\">MET AD 782<\/span> Project Value Strategies<\/h5>\n<div class=\"sprg-flag\">Sprg  &#8216;26<\/div><\/div><div class=\"bu_collapsible_section\" style=\"display: none;\"><p>Undergraduate Prerequisites: METAD 642 - Prereq AD 642. This course will introduce students to Project Value - a unique perspective on classical Project Management that is focused on assuring that a project delivers value that is aligned with the mission, vision, and values of an organization. This increasingly popular framework with which to view projects and project management is derived from current research, standards, and thought leadership from PMI and other international bodies. Students will learn how to create value in projects even in today's disruptive, turbulent environment. They will learn how to apply the conceptual framework of benefits realization management (BRM) and to use tools to manage a portfolio of programs and projects strategically with an aim of sustainable project value. Value in Agile projects will be discussed. The element of the Triple Bottom Line and a focus on sustainability is part of the subject matter. Case studies and real life experiences, illustrated with guest lectures, will be intertwined with current research in project management.&nbsp;&nbsp;[ 4 cr. ]<\/p><table class=\"responsive\">\n\t<thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th>Section<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th>Type<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th>Instructor<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th>Location<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th>Times<\/th>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/thead>\n\t<tbody>\t<tr>\n\t\t<td>O1<\/td>\n\t\t<td>IND<\/td>\n\t\t<td>Maltzman<\/td>\n\t\t<td> <\/td>\n\t\t<td>ARR<\/td>\n\t\t<td>12:00 am &ndash; 12:00 am<\/td>\n\t<\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bu_collapsible_container \" id=\"course-METAD807\" aria-live=\"polite\" data-customize-animation=\"false\"><div class=\"bu_collapsible\" aria-expanded=\"false\"tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><h5><span class=\"cf-course-id\">MET AD 807<\/span> Principles and Best Practices in Project, Program, and Portfolio Management<\/h5>\n<\/div><div class=\"bu_collapsible_section\" style=\"display: none;\"><p>This course is one of the last courses that a student in the master's degree project management program is required to take.

Current technologies and processes explored in the enterprise architecture context include blockchain, microservices, multimodal\/analytic databases, DevOps, SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework), containers\/Docker, and some leverage of AI techniques. We cover both the migration of legacy enterprise systems and de novo enterprise architecture development, vendor selection and management, cybersecurity in the enterprise, and complex system integration. Enterprise architecture decisions are presented in the context of the business goals and alignment that are critical for success, given globalization and the reality that \"all companies are now technology companies.\" The course content is rich with case studies that illustrate practical application of enterprise architecture approaches and lessons learned. The course also includes a number of realistic enterprise architecture assignments and an incremental term project with components spanning the course, to provide students with hands on enterprise architecture experience. Students develop the understanding and skills needed to define and implement successful enterprise architectures that provide real strategic and concrete value to organizations, such as substantially reducing IT costs while improving performance, agility and alignment of information technology to business goals.
