The
application of knowledge is a key success factor to learning. This
course goes beyond the traditional project management class by first
exposing the students to a rigorous study of the successful TenStep
Project Management methodology. The students are then able to
demonstrate their knowledge by managing a project from beginning to end
with a software-based project simulation package. This approach
reinforces the concepts and principles learned for effective project
management. As a result, the students are more prepared to apply the
methodology to real life situations. The students are graded through a
compilation of quizzes and the scores achieved at the conclusion of the
project simulation.
Upon completion of this course and achieving a passing score, each student will receive the TenStep Project Manager (TSPM) certification.
