This course is designed as an introduction to project management for innovative criminal justice administrators. Its intent is to provide managers with a better understanding of the project management process. The standard methods of project management, including Gantt and PERT charts, will be discussed in the context of community and problem-oriented policing implementation, special events planning and program development. Ideally, through the use of project management, criminal justice professionals will be able to understand the implementation of new programs as a series of incremental stages of change. Project management can clarify goals, objectives and expectations, individual staff roles in this change and time frames for when certain activities will occur. Project management tools can be a significant help in the management of organizational changes such as community policing or community justice models.
