Intro Project Management Course

3/21/2020

0 Comments

 
What is outlined below is an online version of the project management workshop that I hold every year for the Master of Biotechnology programme and recently created for my undergraduate course on innovation (IMI302) at the University of Toronto Mississauga. The workshop has been broken into 9 parts including 3 exercises. Each part takes 15-20 minutes so overall this course will take about 3 hours in total. You can, of course, pause any time. 

Part 0: (~40') Pre-reads 
Please read these three short articles and answer the quiz at app.gosoapbox.com and enter the access code 364-392-432.
1) https://hbr.org/2016/11/the-four-phases-of-project-management 6 pages
2) https://hbr.org/2016/11/five-critical-roles-in-project-management 4 pages
3) https://www.ntaskmanager.com/blog/essential-project-management-skills/   9 pages

Part 1,2 & Design-Build exercises: (~60') Intro to PM, Design-Build exercise 
Please watch the videos labelled "PM Part 1 v2.0.mp4" 11'+ and "PM Part 2 v2.0.mp4" 9'+
If you have two people or two teams, Team 2 needs to watch Exercise 2 Video.mp4 when instructed.
These can be found at:

There are in-lecture exercises, termed "Quickwrites" so have a pen and paper ready and when they arise, pause the video for a minute and answer them.

Part 3: (~40') Rock'nBands exercise
Please watch the video labelled "PM Part 3 v2.0.mp4" 16'+ and follow the instructions as outlined in the attached document. You'll likely need to print it so you can mark-up the PERT chartas well as print and fill in the Gantt chart. If you are having troubles, watch the first part of the Part 4 video for a hint (and then the solution). A spreadsheet that calculates the costs automatically is also attached. Email me a photo of your completed Gantt at [email protected]. If you are having troubles, you can also email me at this address.
