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.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"responsive-table cf-section-wrapper\">\n<table class=\"cf-table\">\n\t<caption class=\"cf-section-title\">Section A1, SPRG 2026 <span class=\"cf-section-dates\">Jan 20th to Apr 30th<\/span><\/caption>\n\t<thead class=\"cf-section-header\">\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-instructortitle\">Instructor<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-typetitle\">Type<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-daytitle\">Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-timestitle\">Times<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-locationtitle\">Location<\/th>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/thead>\n\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr class=\"cf-section-item\">\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-instructor\">Mucic<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-type\">Independent<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-day\">M<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-start\">02:30:00 PM&ndash;05:15:00 PM<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-location\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/maps\/?search=PSY\">PSY B33<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div><div class=\"responsive-table cf-section-wrapper\">\n<table class=\"cf-table\">\n\t<caption class=\"cf-section-title\">Section A2, SPRG 2026 <span class=\"cf-section-dates\">Jan 20th to Apr 30th<\/span><\/caption>\n\t<thead class=\"cf-section-header\">\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-instructortitle\">Instructor<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-typetitle\">Type<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-daytitle\">Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-timestitle\">Times<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-locationtitle\">Location<\/th>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/thead>\n\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr class=\"cf-section-item\">\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-instructor\">Athaide<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-type\">Independent<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-day\">T<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-start\">06:00:00 PM&ndash;08:45:00 PM<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-location\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/maps\/?search=MCS\">MCS B29<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div><div class=\"responsive-table cf-section-wrapper\">\n<table class=\"cf-table\">\n\t<caption class=\"cf-section-title\">Section A3, SPRG 2026 <span class=\"cf-section-dates\">Jan 20th to Apr 30th<\/span><\/caption>\n\t<thead class=\"cf-section-header\">\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-instructortitle\">Instructor<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-typetitle\">Type<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-daytitle\">Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-timestitle\">Times<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-locationtitle\">Location<\/th>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/thead>\n\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr class=\"cf-section-item\">\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-instructor\">Maltzman<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-type\">Independent<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-day\">W<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-start\">02:30:00 PM&ndash;05:15:00 PM<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-location\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/maps\/?search=MET\">MET 122<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div><div class=\"responsive-table cf-section-wrapper\">\n<table class=\"cf-table\">\n\t<caption class=\"cf-section-title\">Section O1, SPRG 2026 <span class=\"cf-section-dates\">Jan 13th to Mar 2nd<\/span><\/caption>\n\t<thead class=\"cf-section-header\">\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-instructortitle\">Instructor<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-typetitle\">Type<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-daytitle\">Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-timestitle\">Times<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-locationtitle\">Location<\/th>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/thead>\n\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr class=\"cf-section-item\">\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-instructor\">Kanabar<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-type\">Independent<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-day\">ARR<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-start\">12:00:00 AM&ndash;12:00:00 AM<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-location\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/maps\/?search=\"> <\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside><aside class=\"cf-course\">\n\t<div class=\"cf-course-card\">\n\t\t<h3 class=\"cf-course-title\"><span class=\"cf-course-id\"><span class=\"cf-course-college\">MET<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-dept\">AD<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-number\">516<\/span><\/span> Project Leadership and Emerging Communication Technologies<\/h3>\n\t\t<p class=\"meta cf-course-info\"><span class=\"cf-course-credits\">4 credits.<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-offered\"><\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-prereqs\"><\/span><\/p>\n        \n\t\t<p class=\"cf-course-description\">This course examines the increasing importance of leadership and communications in projects. Since project outcomes and the delivery of value are accomplished through teams of people, the course aims to improve the capability of a project manager to become a project leader and to excel at motivating and inspiring their teams. Students begin by gaining a better understanding of their own social, leadership, and communications styles. Self-awareness is key to the course. We investigate motivation, conflict management, negotiation skills, and the Agile principles of stewardship and servant leadership. Grounded in the use of tools, the course will provide students with templates to enhance team collaboration and communication. The course also addresses more contemporary issues in PM, including resolving ambiguity and complexity, the use of improvised working styles, sustainable PM, and issues around power and politics within the project.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"responsive-table cf-section-wrapper\">\n<table class=\"cf-table\">\n\t<caption class=\"cf-section-title\">Section A1, SPRG 2026 <span class=\"cf-section-dates\">Jan 20th to Apr 30th<\/span><\/caption>\n\t<thead class=\"cf-section-header\">\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-instructortitle\">Instructor<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-typetitle\">Type<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-daytitle\">Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-timestitle\">Times<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-locationtitle\">Location<\/th>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/thead>\n\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr class=\"cf-section-item\">\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-instructor\">Athaide<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-type\">Independent<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-day\">W<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-start\">02:30:00 PM&ndash;05:15:00 PM<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-location\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/maps\/?search=SOC\">SOC B63<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div><div class=\"responsive-table cf-section-wrapper\">\n<table class=\"cf-table\">\n\t<caption class=\"cf-section-title\">Section A2, SPRG 2026 <span class=\"cf-section-dates\">Jan 20th to Apr 30th<\/span><\/caption>\n\t<thead class=\"cf-section-header\">\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-instructortitle\">Instructor<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-typetitle\">Type<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-daytitle\">Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-timestitle\">Times<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-locationtitle\">Location<\/th>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/thead>\n\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr class=\"cf-section-item\">\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-instructor\">Arruda<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-type\">Independent<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-day\">R<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-start\">06:00:00 PM&ndash;08:45:00 PM<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-location\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/maps\/?search=KCB\">KCB 104<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div><div class=\"responsive-table cf-section-wrapper\">\n<table class=\"cf-table\">\n\t<caption class=\"cf-section-title\">Section O2, SPRG 2026 <span class=\"cf-section-dates\">Mar 10th to Apr 27th<\/span><\/caption>\n\t<thead class=\"cf-section-header\">\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-instructortitle\">Instructor<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-typetitle\">Type<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-daytitle\">Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-timestitle\">Times<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-locationtitle\">Location<\/th>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/thead>\n\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr class=\"cf-section-item\">\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-instructor\">Maltzman<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-type\">Independent<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-day\">ARR<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-start\">12:00:00 AM&ndash;12:00:00 AM<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-location\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/maps\/?search=\"> <\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside><aside class=\"cf-course\">\n\t<div class=\"cf-course-card\">\n\t\t<h3 class=\"cf-course-title\"><span class=\"cf-course-id\"><span class=\"cf-course-college\">MET<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-dept\">AD<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-number\">644<\/span><\/span> Project Risk and Cost Management<\/h3>\n\t\t<p class=\"meta cf-course-info\"><span class=\"cf-course-credits\">4 credits.<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-offered\">Fall and Spring<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-prereqs\"><\/span><\/p>\n        \n\t\t<p class=\"cf-course-description\">Prerequisite: PM 100.

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.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"responsive-table cf-section-wrapper\">\n<table class=\"cf-table\">\n\t<caption class=\"cf-section-title\">Section O1, SPRG 2026 <span class=\"cf-section-dates\">Jan 13th to Mar 2nd<\/span><\/caption>\n\t<thead class=\"cf-section-header\">\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-instructortitle\">Instructor<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-typetitle\">Type<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-daytitle\">Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-timestitle\">Times<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-locationtitle\">Location<\/th>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/thead>\n\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr class=\"cf-section-item\">\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-instructor\">Maltzman<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-type\">Independent<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-day\">ARR<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-start\">12:00:00 AM&ndash;12:00:00 AM<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-location\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/maps\/?search=\"> <\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside><\/div><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bu_collapsible_container \" aria-live=\"polite\" data-customize-animation=\"false\"><h3 class=\"bu_collapsible\" aria-expanded=\"false\"tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">Master's Thesis Option<\/h3><div class=\"bu_collapsible_section\" style=\"display: none;\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Two courses\/8 units)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students have the option to complete a master\u2019s thesis.
