Participants learn to use Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) principles to develop a hierarchy that depicts the priorities and interrelationships of the project needs, success criteria, and detailed project management planning. The course provides an integrated approach to planning with respect to cost, scheduling, and technical performance. Participants will also learn to use AHP in a project team environment, developing an integrated project management plan, from market conceptualization to detailed design and development. You will learn how to integrate subjective and objective information, quantify interdependencies, test for sensitivity to unknowns, quantify the uncertainty limits, and test for and resolve inconsistent inputs.
For Online Sections of this course: Online courses are largely self-study with instructor support through threaded discussion groups, email and sometimes scheduled online chats. Some instructors may allow students to pace themselves following the published syllabus, enabling them to accelerate through the material and finish early. However, all students must complete and submit all assignments by the schedule end date. Grades are issued for the entire class approximately two weeks after the scheduled end date.
