Capstone Consultancy Project Management

The Capstone Consultancy Project Management course is the first of a two-course sequence. The second course is the Capstone Workshop (SIPA U9000). The fall short course is designed to orient students to the core objectives of their Capstone project and provide key trainings such as client engagement strategies and project management.  Students will have an initial introduction to the client contacts and faculty advisor and work with their advisor to design a preliminary work plan outlining the methodology for the Capstone project.  Students will consider the travel needs for their project, in consultation and with the approval of their client, and submit all travel requests prior to the end of the fall semester.  Students will also create their team guidelines and be assigned their specific role on the project (client liaison, lead editor, project manager, SIPA liaison, travel coordinator, etc).
