Project Management Course
The I.T. Project Management course covers project management specifically
in the context of software development projects: it trains team leaders, aspiring project
managers, etc how to run these projects. It does not teach dry PM theory, nor how
to use a planning tool, nor how to do mathematical critical path analysis (though that can be
covered offline if you wish), nor how to pass a PM exam, nor even does it
teach the administrative impositions of a particular project management system. The course
teaches how to run software development projects: what the team leaders, business users, project
manager and others should do to make it more likely that their projects will succeed
