Successfully managing project stakeholders, scope and communications is crucial to effective project management. Project scope management is defined as the processes required to ensure that the project includes all the work required and only the work required, to complete the project by successfully meeting stakeholders needs. When scoping projects, it is vital to define the need for them. This is typically done at the project start up/initiation stages at a high level relating the projects intended benefits to the organisations strategic intent and in more detail during the later stages. In some cases, the operational concept may exist before the need to undertake the project has been realised. Throughout the life of the project, successful scope management is intertwined with managing the various stakeholders in the project and the communications with them. This unit examines the processes, resources and techniques to effectively manage project stakeholders, scope and communications.
This unit may be offered in intensive weekend mode at ML campus.
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
On-campus students attend a weekly three hour seminar. The unit will be taught through an interactive lecture process, whereby students will be asked to answer questions, and the ensuing discussion will lead the learning and teaching. The use of cases and study aids will enhance student learning. Practical sessions will allow students to apply theory learned in the unit, as well as encouraging students to make oral and written presentations. The Internet will be a key resource for students, and they will use Blackboard to collaborate, access updates, articles, and other unit-related material. Students studying in off campus mode will access the program via Blackboard and regular on line access is required. Students need to be actively engaged in the unit by listening to the recorded lectures, reading the required readings and other unit related material and collaborating via the group features on Blackboard.
