This course aims to develop an understanding of the role and responsibilities of a project manager, the challenges of IS project management, and the tools and techniques for successful IS project management.
This course introduces students to the role and responsibilities of a project manager, the challenges of IS project management, and the application of tools and techniques for successful management within the IS project life cycle. Although project management has been an established field for many years, managing information technology projects requires ideas and information that go beyond standard project management.

Key outputs will be documented in an approved project plan.* Work as a team to perform key activities associated with the management of an IS project.* Use various project management tools (e.g. MS Project) to help plan and manage an IS project.Though the emphasis of INFO393 is managing IS projects, the course can benefit students aiming to be a business professional or manager in any area, not just those aiming for a career is IS.
