Project Management Introduction
This short self study e-learning material will give health and social care managers' theories, tools and techniques for Project Management within contemporary health and social care settings. This e-learning element will help you learn about the definition of Project Management; and how to plan and run successful projects.
This Element is about Project Management and is divided into three sections. They are:
- Project Definition
- Project Planning
- Running Projects
Each of these sections should be taken in about 20 minute dips of study time. We also have a library of resource materials where you can find out more about project management. These are important and will allow you to develop the knowledge you have gained through the Element.
The Library has a number of resources that you can explore in order to find out more about the subject. These include web sites with useful information and articles and books that are concerned with Project Management. However these are just some examples of the resources available. They are not an exhaustive list. We hope that you will begin to do your own research as you explore this subject. To help you do this then we have added a search facility in the Library area where you can find out what other materials are available through the Internet. Type into the search box the topic you want like "project management" or "project planning" or whatever item you are looking for and then a list of possible relevant sites will appear. Learn to use the search facility by experimenting, as it is a very useful and important tool.
The Case Studies will be developed and added to over time so that you can find real life situations where project management and planning has been done well or badly. We would also welcome case study material that you may have so that we can share it with others.
