The Project Management specialization is designed to introduce the discipline of project management, including the concepts, tools, and techniques used in managing and leading projects. Key topics include the role of the project manager; the project team; managing cost, schedule, and risk; quality in projects; and the project life cycle. Courses in this specialization may be taken for credit toward CU Boulder’s Master of Engineering in Engineering Management (ME-EM) program, offered on Coursera. The ME-EM program is designed to help engineers, scientists, and technical professionals transition into leadership and management positions in engineering and technical industries. Based on learning outcomes and with no application requirement, the ME-EM program is ideal for individuals with a wide range of educational and/or professional experience.

You will learn a formal project management process that includes tools commonly used in the discipline. Students will have the opportunity to apply these tools to manage a small "virtual" project. Upon completion of the specialization, students should have the basis for producing a comprehensive final project plan.
