Executive MBA Experience

Managing projects present exceptional challenges, which require dynamic Project Managers at the helm. This course will address the skills, knowledge, behaviors and persistence required to successfully manage projects that transcends organizations, frontiers, international teams and cultural differences. We will utilize a practical and academic approach to discuss the fundamentals of the internationally-accepted A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide). The curriculum will cover the 5 PMBOK® Process Groups and ten Knowledge Areas, while exploring each one and their interdependencies in the project lifecycle. We will delve into Scrum and address the ways in which it can be applied to deliver improved results in an ever-evolving business environment. The Scrum framework is ideal to address complex adaptive problems, while productively and creatively delivering products of the highest possible value. It is an excellent way to approach inherent uncertainties and changes in the global business environment.

Class participants will engage in group exercises to apply the tools discussed in the classroom, and are expected to complete a final succinct project, which will demonstrate practical application and mastery of both methodologies. The tools employed in this course will help EMBA students develop and sharpen the skills necessary to recognize and foster a successful project environment within their respective organizations.
