Greetings PM students and welcome to UCSB PaCE Project Planning and Procurement, Winter 2022!
My name is Jason Gonzalez and I am excited to be your instructor as we deep dive into these important areas of project management. While not a prerequisite, the course will build upon the concepts and activities presented in the Introduction to Project Management class - if you do not have previous experience with the general concepts and terminology of PM, please let me know and I'll be happy to work with you prior to the star of the course.
I've attached the class information and syllabus as part of this announcement - if you have any additional questions, please reach out to me at the contact information posted below
Course Overview
This class will build upon concepts and methods presented in the Introduction to Project Management course and will consist of a deep dive into two of the most important aspects of Project Management – the project planning and procurement knowledge areas. Over the weeks, the course will address all associated processes, documents, phases and outcomes of these crucial project activities while underscoring their interconnectivity to the other areas of project management. This includes knowledge of best practices, associated terms, review of real-world case examples, and discussion of common risks and how to avoid them.
Learner Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: Direct and manage planning efforts for their project, including defining scope via requirements gathering, activity estimations, resource management and projecting a schedule. Authoring of the specific sub-plans by area will be discussed and practiced. Students will also gain insights into vendor solicitation, product selection, contract types, RFx sourcing activities, budget and vendor management techniques and procurement completion tasks.
