| In ever increasing numbers,
organizations are turning to project management to help
them gain competitive advantage. Regardless of size or
industry, project driven or not, companies can leverage
project management techniques to help them complete work
on time and on budget in an environment which reinforces
alignment with organizational strategy. |

These techniques
involve managing people, risks, costs, and time,
using horizontal team structures in organizations that are
often vertically oriented. Within this framework projects
are developed and managed according to a defined set of procedures
that produce consistent results.
Managing projects successfully in this environment requires
a combination of technical and people skills. Achieving
project management best practices involves integrating a
sound project management methodology with strong
communication, team building, and analytical skills.
The highly participatory Project Management classes at
the School of Continuing Studies use combinations of interactive
lectures, discussions, small group work and exercises to
help project managers achieve this critical combination of
skills.
