Project Management - Information Technology

Humber’s Project Management – Information Technology Ontario Graduate Certificate program is designed to equip learners with a practical understanding of project management methodologies and frameworks, specifically tailored for the IT industry. This program prepares them to design, develop and manage information technology projects in a variety of companies and organizations.

Learners will acquire the skills needed to move IT projects from conceptualization to implementation and maintenance using various project management methodologies and frameworks.  Throughout the program, learners will immerse themselves in information security management, software management, quality assurance, and organization principles and behaviours, among other areas. Learners will work with agile frameworks, especially those commonly used in the IT industry such as Scrum and Kanban. They will learn to differentiate between traditional Waterfall and Agile project management, and more importantly, understand when to apply each of them effectively in IT projects.

Throughout the program, learners will use cutting-edge technology and will be exposed to the current industry trends to prepare them to thrive in a dynamic IT work environment. The program culminates in an experiential learning opportunity such as capstone where learners examine a real-world IT project implemented by an external industry sponsor. Based on the analysis, they will provide recommendations on how the practice of project management can be improved to directly impact project outcomes and team productivity in the IT sector. Additionally, learners will have access to several employer and networking opportunities within the IT industry, designed to enhance employment prospects upon graduation.

With a focus on innovation, agility and digital transformation, the demand for skilled project managers is at an all-time high. The Project Management Institute (PMI) estimates that by 2027, employers will need nearly 88 million people in project-related roles globally.

Graduates of this program can explore the following career options: project manager, project lead, project co-ordinator, project analyst, team lead, business systems analyst, systems analyst, IT analyst, quality assurance analyst, among others.
