A key concern of project managers is project procurement—the process of identifying and acquiring the necessary goods and services to implement and complete project plans. Learn how successful project managers plan, conduct, administer and close the procurement process. Examine integration considerations involved in the different project lifecycle phases and how principled negotiation can help you bargain effectively when procuring needed goods and services.
Emphasis is on the Project Management Institute’s PMBOK® Guide's six-step procurement process: plan purchases and acquisitions, plan contracting, request seller responses, selecting sellers, contract administration and contract closure.
This course aligns with the most current industry standard as developed by the Project Management Institute. As a PMI® registered education provider, UC Davis Extension has been approved to issue professional development units (PDUs) for our courses.
