OIM3509 Project Management
4 General Credits
Every great idea lives or dies by execution. Whether you’re launching a start-up, scaling a new product, or driving change inside a global company, the ability to lead projects is the difference between bold vision and real impact. And right now, the world is hungry for talent: According to the Project Management Institute (PMI), the world will need nearly 30 million new project management professionals by 2035 to keep pace across industries from consulting and tech to finance and construction.
This course puts you in the driver’s seat. You won’t just study project management, you’ll practice it! From day one, you’ll take on real-world challenges: scoping opportunities, negotiating with tough stakeholders, building schedules in Smartsheet, managing risks, and pitching solutions to executives. You’ll feel the pressure, navigate the conflicts, and see how emerging AI tools are changing the game.
By the end, you’ll walk away with a portfolio of deliverables, a playbook for leading teams, and the many of the credentials to pursue PMI’s CAPM certification. More importantly, you’ll leave knowing how to make projects happen, anywhere your career takes you.
