Project Uncertainty: Risks, Ambiguity, and Complexity
PMAN 637 | 3 Credits
Course Desc: Prerequisite: PMAN 635. An in-depth exploration of project uncertainty and its manifestations in project risks/opportunities, ambiguity, and complexity. Includes comprehensive coverage of risk/opportunity in both the traditional and agile contexts - identification, qualitative and quantitative analysis, responses, and monitoring. Considerations for navigating and reducing ambiguity are addressed. Modeling and simulation techniques are leveraged to gauge the impact of complexity and project risks/opportunities on project schedule, cost, quality, and team motivation/morale, which are used to derive meaningful and informed forecasts that facilitate ongoing project planning and execution leading to successful project outcomes. Emphasis is on leveraging data visualization techniques to communicate project uncertainty and performance effectively and expeditiously.
