 :Course Description /‫وصف المادة‬ .18
This course discusses the processes, methods, techniques and tools that organizations use to
manage their information systems projects. The course covers a systematic methodology for
initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing projects. This course assumes that project
management in the modern organization is a complex team-based activity, where various types of
technologies (including project management software as well as software to support group
collaboration) are an inherent part of the project management process. This course also
acknowledges that project management involves both the use of resources from within the firm,
as well as contracted from outside the organization.
