Course Overview
This course introduces concepts that project managers must understand to be successful in managing a project team,
as well as managing more complex and demanding projects. While project management basics are focused on the 'process'
of project management, advanced focus is concentrated on the complexities of project management.
In the first half of the course, students will learn the basics of project management and some of the tools and
techniques to help manage projects smoothly and successfully, such as:
- the essentials necessary for project success;
- the stages of project management;
- defining a vision and a mission for the project;
- setting measurable objectives;
- assessing resources and constraints;
- creating and managing a project plan;
- dealing with change
In the last half of the course, students will be exposed to project management practices that require both the hard skills of project management and the soft skills of constituent management, focusing on traditional project management techniques and tools as employed on complex and troubled projects.
Students will also learn to help the project manager address the challenges that come with the increased responsibility of larger, more complex projects and programs, focusing on constituent management and project communications. The matrix design of project teams requires frequent and concise communication to the project team members, project sponsors, and interdependent project teams.

Contact Hour Conversion Statement
The Professional Development Unit (PDU) is the measuring unit used by PMI Project Management Professionals
(PMPs) to quantify relevant learning and professional service activities.
Under the PMI Professional Development Program (PDP), PMPs are required to earn 60 PDUs every three years
to maintain PMP Certification. Typically, one PDU is earned for every one hour spent in a planned, structured
learning experience or activity that enhances project management knowledge or skills. Fractions of PDUs may be
reported in 0.25 increments following one full hour. Event participants should file their claim for Category Four
PDUs using these parameters when calculating the number of PDUs attached to any programs you may attend.
The UIC Project Management Online course converts into 48 PDUs.
