Project Finance and Risk Analysis

Prerequisite: MET PM 100 Lab or MET AD 515 - In this course, you will be introduced to macro and micro approaches to project cost estimation. Case studies of both pre-project and in-process estimating examine some of the more common perils of human irrationality associated with project estimation to help develop more sensible, achievable project outcomes. You will learn how to manage both project cost and schedule objectives using the Earned Value and Earned Schedule Measurement Systems. You will also study risk management through an examination of both individual and overall project risk and apply your learnings using advanced risk management software in an actual case study. Project quality management, procurement/contract management, and project ethics and professional conduct will be explored using case study scenarios.
