GIS Collaborative Project Planning

The skills developed in this course will help students select, design, build, and implement a complex GIS application and/or a cartographic representation in response to an industry-defined problem, using a business project management model. The course will assist students in negotiating the complexities of project planning unique to this sector, as well as issues such as client relations, time management and scheduling, data acquisition, negotiating intellectual property rights and copyrights and managing teamwork and interactions. Project design principles will provide a foundation for the iterative process of planning, establishing schedules, and writing a GIS project proposal. GIS Collaborative Project Planning precedes the GIS Collaborative Project in the final semester and develops a skill set critical to its success.
