In this course students will use all of the skills first introduced in the previous courses to initiate, plan, execute, control, and close a simulated project - from developing key deliverables to facilitating meetings to justifying decisions for the benefit of key stakeholders.

Students creatively analyze, synthesize, and evaluate learned knowledge in a project having a professional focus, and communicate the results of the project effectively at a professional level. 

Each student will undertake a major investigation of a foremost IT Project Management challenge in the workplace, be it from the student’s own experience or in a field in which the student hopes to secure employment.  Developed in a problem and solution format, the student is expected to use extensive research into best practices and associated professional methodology.  Written and oral components are required to complete this course. Students will also use project management software to help provide the needed artifacts that are commonly used in any large-scale project. Credits: 4
