Information Managment Project Management
Information management (IM) projects present a unique set of management challenges compared to traditional information system projects. Enterprise Information Management (EIM) is the set of business processes, disciplines and practices used to manage the information created from an organization’s data as an enterprise asset. Full organizational commitment to managing information as an enterprise asset requires the establishment of enterprise policies and the development of a support environment shared by the organization. All IM/EIM projects require that the project management techniques are aligned with the EIM concepts chosen for implementation.
This course uses a project management training approach to allow students to employ their project management skills within an EIM program. Using an actual case study, students will learn how EIM concepts and project management practices can serve as the foundation for a successful EIM implementation.
