STARTUP TEAM PROJECT MANAGEMENT
RON JOHNSON
We offer innovative university degrees taught in English by industry leaders from around the world, aimed at giving our students meaningful and creatively satisfying top-level professional futures. We think the future is bright if you make it so.
Combinatorics and graph theory lay at the heart of discrete mathematics and computer science. In the course, we begin with a brief review of the fundamentals of combinatorics---counting, permutations, binomial coefficients, and the pigeonhole principle---and then devote most of the course to the fundamentals of graph theory. We cover the most common definitions and ideas of graph theory, proving important theorems and introducing important algorithms, but mostly aiming to simply establish the common language of discrete mathematics and computer science.
Respected leader with 25 accomplished years in various IT roles. Experienced in relationship management, process definition and optimisation, and quality of service.
Demonstrated success working within dynamic environments in planning and implementing strategic and tactical projects, managing change, and ensuring that service level objectives are met.
A business-oriented, goal-driven team player who achieves continuous improvement and high-quality results.
Throughout the course the following objectives will be covered:
• Take a concept or idea and create a workable project with well-defined requirements
• Work with the business, stakeholders and customers to ensure the project succeeds
• Build a team custom tailored to meet the needs of the project
• Give the team every startup advantage possible
• Learn the importance of action (something is better than nothing)
• Shorter turnaround times create additional value (feedback, shorter pay cycles, business involvement)
• Longer timeframes 'leak' value (retest, change absorption, team turnaround)
• Manage project details such as finance, requirements, resources and timeframes in shorter increments
• Convert a business project into a team work increment
• Order and rank work to create value earlier
• Understand why each topic gives a startup team an advantage
• Hands on exercises will be used to solidify concepts with the students allowing them to carry them forward into their future work.
