PM-4005 - Procurement and Contract Management

Semester Credits: 3 Weeks: 8

Students will have a special emphasis placed on how procurement and proposals integrate into the project management process and how the project manager will successfully maintain control of the process. Students will assess the effective management of contracts and procurements for projects from the initial planning for contract work through contract close out. The signature assignment will be the creation of a Contract and Procurement Management Plan. This project management course will involve the student in the five major project process steps: initiation, planning, executing, controlling, and closing. This course will specifically engage the student in the planning, executing, and controlling steps. The degree of engagement will be the most significant in the planning and controlling process steps for the student-selected project.
