In fact, a recent Project Management Institute study (Make Reality Global Survey 2020\u20132021) cited project management as one of the top-five areas business leaders would like to prioritize in 2021. Yet, a talent shortage persists. According to the PMI 2021 Talent Gap Report, the global economy will need 25 million new project professionals by 2030, filling about 2.3 million job openings per year. To counteract this shortage, we need to ensure that the project management workforce has the skills necessary to navigate a rapidly evolving profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program includes an optional concentration in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/online\/programs\/graduate-programs\/project-management\/program-and-project-portfolio-management\/\">Program &amp; Project Portfolio Management<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The MS in Project Management is also available on campus in Boston.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/met\/degrees-certificates\/ms-project-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Curriculum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Students who are not choosing the concentration in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/online\/programs\/graduate-programs\/project-management\/program-and-project-portfolio-management\/\">Program &amp; Project Portfolio Management<\/a> must complete the degree core courses, four specialization courses, and two electives.<\/p>\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\">Degree Core Courses<\/h3><div class=\"bu_collapsible_section\" style=\"display: none;\"><\/p>\n\n\n<p><div class=\"course-feed\"><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\">642<\/span><\/span> Project 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\">The course explores modern project management by providing an enterprise- level, experiential view of the discipline focused on connecting projects to the organization's mission, vision, and values. 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\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\">643<\/span><\/span> Project Communications and Leadership<\/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\">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\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\">715<\/span><\/span> Quantitative and Qualitative Decision-Making<\/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\">The purpose of this course is to help improve business problem solving and managerial decision-making through the use of quantitative and qualitative decision-making tools and techniques. This course will provide the student with an overview of how decisions are made to solve management problems in the business environment. It introduces the fundamental concepts and methodologies of the decision-making process, problem-solving, decision analysis, data collection, probability distribution, evaluation, and prediction methods. Students will learn how to apply different quantitative and qualitative analytical tools commonly used in business to provide a depth of understanding and support to various decision-making activities within each subject area of management. 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.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"responsive-table cf-section-wrapper\">\n<table class=\"cf-table\">\n\t<caption

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.
