Abstract

We share the experience of our IS department in regard to project management and School of Business curricula. What started out as ordinary service on School of Business committees evolved into a departmental strategy: staking a claim to project management. And while this strategy sort of found us before we found it, IS departments at other schools may decide to proactively pursue this strategy. Sharing our journey provides the opportunity for IS colleagues to determine if such a strategy could be of benefit in their situation and to take away insights for how to proceed.

One Strategy for IS Departments: Staking a Claim to Project Management

We share the experience of our IS department in regard to project management and School of Business curricula. What started out as ordinary service on School of Business committees evolved into a departmental strategy: staking a claim to project management. And while this strategy sort of found us before we found it, IS departments at other schools may decide to proactively pursue this strategy. Sharing our journey provides the opportunity for IS colleagues to determine if such a strategy could be of benefit in their situation and to take away insights for how to proceed.
