Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: This course teaches preparing and evaluating investment projects. It develops the project implementation plan preparation, project planning and control skills and focuses on the project management methodology that will enable students to start and manage projects efficiently and effectively. Students will learn important project management skills and strategies and have the opportunity to apply them with homework.
Learns the critical activities and resource allocation issues in project implementation.
Course Content: Organizations need project management to make changes in the competitive and dynamic environment in which they operate. Effective project management has become a necessary competence for organizational success. The aim of this course is to develop the basic technical and managerial skills required to select, plan, organize, manage and control projects. Students will learn information about projects from the project manager and project management team perspective. The program will learn to organize, plan, implement and control projects to achieve budget and performance goals.
Tools and techniques include:Project plannig with limited sources. Job failure structures, CPM / Pert diagrams, critical path analysis, correcting / leveling projects, colliding projects, risk analysis, resource allocation and project prediction.
