  • Introduce yourself
    I am expecting each of you to speak for 1 - 2 minutes. Here are the things that I would like you to share with us: Your name; The iSchool program in which you are enrolled; Your employment (this includes, full-time, part-time, university, and home care activities); Your previous experience with project management; Most Important: What you would like to get out of this course. I look forward to meeting each of you during your introductions.
  • Who are Project Managers and What Do They Do?
    Read the article above with the same name and be prepared to share your thoughts on the subject. The article is published by PMI, and they have a particular point of view about project management. Perhaps your view is different. We will break out into groups to discuss this and then return to debrief the exercise as a larger group.

On Friday afternoons from 3:00 PM till 4:00 PM, I will be holding an optional Lab Session using Zoom.
