What MGMT 651 covers
Gido and colleagues' chapters are read two a module from chapter 1 in Module/Week 1 to chapters 12 and 13 in Module/Week 7, with three to five presentations and often a website each week; the final module reviews earlier readings.
A forum, with its thread and two replies, falls in every module; the plan outline is due in Module/Week 4 and the sixteen-page plan in Module/Week 7, and Mindtap quizzes and case scenario animation quizzes run through most weeks.
This course explores the core values and principles of agile project management. Topical coverage includes: agile methodologies, the relationship between defined and empirical processes, best practices and latest agile approaches.

Where MGMT 651 papers lose points
MGMT 651 posts lose points when a thread falls short of four distinct APA citations or a reply of two, when agile is presented as always better than a plan, when estimates use hours or hopes instead of measured velocity, and when the final plan describes Scrum in general without its project's own backlog, numbers and risks.
