Electronic Course Materials: You will be granted access in Canvas to your course site and course materials approximately 24 hours prior to the published start date of the course.
Required Tools & Materials:
This is a tool-independent course.
This class is intended to address project management techniques, not teach a particular tool.
Please note that homework cannot be done using MS Word or MS PowerPoint. A tool that can perform mathematics and export data in tabular and database-friendly format is required.
However, usage of Microsoft Project 2010+ is highly recommended. In general, students use Microsoft project provided on their work laptops. Additionally, UCSC Silicon Valley Extension provides Microsoft Project via AWS Appstream for all participants free of charge (see welcome letter for details).
See "Files" Section On CANVAS
You do not need to buy any books for the class.
Each session has a PDF file "Main Materials" and a few "Supplemental Material" presentations. These should cover what will discuss in class, as well serve as a handbook for reference later. However, we will discuss "further reading" at the end of the session depending on the Learning Outcomes.
Recommended Tools & Materials:
At a minimum, a spreadsheet tool - e.g., MS Excel or Google Sheets.
