I’m very excited about a new course being developed called Project Value Strategies.

Here’s the description:

This course will introduce students to Project Value – a unique perspective on classical Project Management that is focused on assuring that a project delivers value that is aligned with the mission, vision, and values of an organization. This increasingly popular framework with which to view projects and project management strategically is derived from current research, standards, and thought leadership from PMI and other international bodies.

 Students will learn how to create and measure value in projects even in today’s disruptive, turbulent environment, using recently-introduced schema. They will learn how to apply the framework of benefits realization management (BRM) and to use recognized and emerging tools to manage a portfolio of programs and projects strategically with an aim of sustainable project value.  Value in Agile projects will be discussed.  The element of the Triple Bottom Line and a focus on sustainability covered.  Case studies and real life experiences, illustrated with guest lectures from academics and portfolio/program/project/PMO practitioners, will be intertwined with current research in project and value management.

I’ll be teaching this course for its first appearance this Fall on Wednesdays, 2:30 to 5:15PM.

It does have prerequisites (AD642) and will be for the more advanced PM students.

Are you one?

Join me, won’t you?
