Project Management

Project Management. Instructor: Prof. Raghunandan Sengupta, Department of Industrial and Management Engineering, IIT Kanpur. With the concept of managing Big Projects under costs and time constraints, it is imperative that people working in manufacturing/process/service industry have a very good understanding of the general and advanced concepts of Project Management. It is with this motivation that this course is designed to meet the demand in the market from UG to PG students coming from a variety of fields. (from nptel.ac.in)
