Purpose:
This course is designed primarily for those individuals who are, or will be, a project manager in any program area. Project delivery team (PDT) members from functions other than project management may benefit through improved understanding of the project manager’s and their own roles and an overview of the project management process.
Description:
The course provides the basic concepts and philosophy of project management and the USACE project management business process (PMBP); it introduces the phases of a project, discusses roles and responsibilities of the PDT, and provides tools for project management. The course seeks, through presentations, discussions, illustrations, team exercises and case studies to provide current guidance in using project management techniques and the PMBP. General project management skills, tools, and techniques are reinforced using civil works and military programs case studies. Instruction covers the development of a project management plan (PMP), project scope, work breakdown structures, and project schedules; techniques for cost estimating, risk assessment/contingency management and performance measurement; resourcing projects, and the civil works and military programs budget cycles. Team dynamics with individual and team strengths are also discussed and illustrated throughout the course. Completing an individual on-line assessment utilizing Clifton Strengths is a course prerequisite. It is intended to be a basic course that may be supplemented by other courses that specifically address in detail such elements as network analysis and scheduling, earned value; or in-depth mission specifics, such as Civil Works or Military Programs. This course does not teach you how to use P2.
Prerequisites:
Nominees should be in Grade GS-11 or above. This course is appropriate for newly assigned project managers or those who anticipate being assigned as a project manager with a minimum of 2 years' experience working with project teams. Additionally, this course may be taken by technical members of the project delivery team (PDT) to include budget, scheduling, contracting, and legal personnel requiring an overview of the project management process and procedures.
Notes:
All courses that were submitted in 2016 without a full formal review have been retired. I am working to submit applications to PMI for review and will update with new PDU numbers once processed through PMI.
