TOTAL: 45 PERIODS

OUTCOMES: On successful completion of the course, the students will be able to

• explain the concept of projects, its process, objectives and functions of project management.
• analyze and manage time in projects through gantt charts, cpm and pert techniques.
• balance resource requirements of projects so as to avoid idling of resources.
• update projects and determine revised schedule of activities and critical path, if any.
• crash projects to determine its optimum time-minimum cost relationships.
