Managing Information Technology Projects
"IT" means different things to different people. This course addresses all areas of IT project management: hardware, software, systems
integration, communications, and human resources; helping you gain the foundation, basic experience, techniques and tools to manage each
stage of your project.
IT Risk Management
IT Risk Management examines threat and opportunity from the perspective of ESI's proven eight-step risk management process. Using
effective tools, including ESI's highly regarded risk assessment model, you'll learn how to evaluate and respond to risk at the project and
task levels. You'll apply these tools from the course material to analyse and classify risks, determine how to establish an acceptable level
of risk and develop a practical risk response plan.
Software Testing
Discover how to integrate testing throughout the development process in order to uncover bugs, ensure performance, enhance quality, and
lower costs. Using a set of integrated classroom exercises beginning with requirements validation and ending with implementation, this
course demonstrates how testing activities fit into the entire software development life cycle.
Network and Telecom Principles for Project Managers
In Network and Telecom Principles for Project Managers, you'll learn the fundamental principles in data networks with an emphasis on
incorporating communication capabilities in information systems design. Learn how network and telecommunications technologies are evolving
and how communications systems function and integrate with existing architectures.
Systems Integration Project Management
Today's information technology project manager faces projects of increasing size, complexity, and risk. Your job as project manager is to
make sure that all of the components come together and to see that the project is completed on time and within budget. Identify and explore
the complex technical and business issues involved in integrating custom software, hardware solutions, telecommunications networks,
commercial off-the-shelf (COTS), business procedures and services, and support facilities.
