Foundations of Project Management

Penn State University and SunCam, Inc. are offering a video (VHS or DVD format) entitled “The Project Management Tool Kit” by Jeffery Pinto Ph.D. Pinto is an recognized expert in project management and author of nine books and more than 100 scientific papers on the subject.

The film examines these topics:
· Why Project Management
· Project Scope Management
· Risk Management
· Basics of Planning and Scheduling
· Project Tracking and Control
· Project Close-out

Effective project management requires a special kit of tools and the tools are the same regardless of the size or the nature of the project. Whether you are the architect for the world’s tallest building, a solo professional working only on small projects or the development manager for a new drug to cure cancer, these tools will help you meet schedule, cost and/or profit expectations.

Anyone who manages projects, supervises project managers, or plans to become a project manager could benefit from the 3-hours and 20-minute tape, available for $100. This is not a rental, you will own the video and you may share it with any number of people without limitation.

Viewers may also earn four-professional development hours of continuing education credits by completing a 24-question test and paying an additional fee of $35 per person for certification. Group discounts are available for purchases of three or more videos or five or more certifications.
