Advanced Project Management (CM_AdvProjMgmt)

The goals of an organization can be efficiently pursued only through proper project management, as a means able to consistently tackle their needs. Thus the role of the Project Manager becomes essential, as responsible to achieve the objectives, respecting the constraints determined by the project context. Modern Project Managers must have in-depth technical and management knowledge.
The course provides the students with the main tools and methods to manage projects and to analyse the organizational context, to provide useful information that can translate into organizational improvements and increased efficiency in the pursuit of business objectives. The course gives also the opportunity to certificate the knowledge acquired in project management with the CAPM certification (Certified Associated in Project Management) provided by the PMI (Project Management Institute).
