Individuals in any organization are occasionally asked to take on additional tasks that require planning and management in order to achieve a desired objective. This course will provide the non-project manager with a basic project management framework to support the successful planning, execution, and management of any project. Projects may be special one-time events or occasional activities that require a plan to define and achieve specific objectives that support an organization’s mission. Participants will be asked to identify a potential project from their institutional context in order to gain hands-on experience with planning a project during the course. Course materials and examples will be presented such that ̽»¨Â¥ members will be able to relate them to their own contexts (registrar, admissions, and enrollment management functions).
