Optimizing Project Goals
Online BSBA and MBA Summer 2024 - June 3-July 12
Description
This course provides students with tools, techniques, and knowledge to effectively implement projects to reach organization goals. Even with improved planning, projects will rarely go exactly as planned. When problems occur, how should management best respond? What mix of adding resources (e.g., by hiring, overtime, work intensity), changing the schedule (both final and interim milestones), reducing scope, cutting activities such as QA, and so on will provide the optimal outcome? A system dynamics (causal modeling) business analysis tool is used to improve such decisions by taking into consideration feedback in projects, especially the adverse ripple effects of management actions.
Class Notes
