 My name is Peter Croswell, and I'm one of the instructors for the course Geospatial Project Management. You'll find that this course is a little different than many other GIS courses, because it doesn't feel in a hands-on way with GIS technology. The course covers concepts, practices, and tools to effectively plan and manage GIS projects, with a goal to make your work more efficient and your projects more successful. So what types of GIS projects am I referring to? The most common projects involve geographic database development, custom application design and development, and creating interfaces between GIS and external systems. We will teach skills and methods that really do work to make projects run smoother and to help you complete them to deliver useful results to your users and customers. Many of the course assignments will be based on a fictitious but realistic GIS project which involves the field data collection of important city facilities, creation of a geodatabase, and development of custom applications. The instructors will be fully engaged to answer questions, conduct several live Zoom sessions, and to provide help to you throughout the course. So whether you are taking this course as part of the requirements for the Masters of GIS program, or to enhance your capabilities in GIS project management, we believe it will improve your skills and give you specific practices that you can apply immediately in an actual work setting.
