This course develops the capabilities to plan and control projects. The course will focus on the introduction of new products and processes. It will examine the project management life cycle, defining project parameters, matrix management challenges, effective project management tools and techniques, and the role of a project manager. This course guides students through the fundamental project management tools and behavioral skills necessary to successfully launch, lead, and realize benefits from projects in life science enterprises. Students will explore project management with a practical, hands-on approach through case studies and class exercises. Life science companies frequently face a strategic dilemma ¿ too many potential projects and not enough resources to pursue them all. This course will provide students with an overview of the key analyses, processes and decisions companies take to optimize their portfolio of product development projects.
