Project Management by the book

This course integrates the globally recognized project management standards of the Project Management Institute (PMI®) and the PMBOK® Guide with the timeless wisdom of Scripture. Students learn to initiate, plan, execute, monitor, and close projects with excellence, integrity, and servant leadership. Each module pairs a biblical narrative (e.g., Nehemiah’s wall, Noah’s ark, Moses at the burning bush, Jesus washing feet) with a secular corporate case study (e.g., NASA’s Apollo program, the Panama Canal, Toyota Production System, Johnson & Johnson crisis). The Bible serves not as a devotional supplement but as the original source of project management principles—covering scope definition, stakeholder engagement, risk management, ethical decision‑making, and lessons learned. Students complete a final project: a full Project Management Plan for a real or hypothetical faith‑based or non‑profit initiative. This course is designed for business professionals, ministry leaders, and students seeking PMP® certification or advanced leadership skills with a biblical foundation.
