Traditional project management techniques and frameworks are not always applicable to projects with a significant IT component and may fail to address adequately the organizational stresses caused by IT projects. Bringing a successful IT project to fruition can yield enormous institutional rewards when underutilized valuable information is brought to light and used. The quality of information can be improved overall, its scope of delivery greatly expanded, and its presentation made in ways that allow for its more effective use. This course enables the non-technologist to design and implement an IT-based project, not as an end in itself, but as a means to further an organizationÕs stated goals or mission. It teaches students how to communicate with IT staff at the level of specificity required to guide a projectÕs design and implementation, and to acquire the analytical and project management skills required to conceive and execute a coherent and effective strategy for implementing an IT project that serves the core mission of an organization.wed 6.10 - 9.10
