The Regis PLM-MBA aligns with the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) Talent Triangle. Combining business acumen, power skills and ways of working, PMI requires project managers to “cultivate effective decision-making and understand how projects align with the big picture of broader organizational strategy and global trends.”
Our PLM-MBA students and faculty are directly connected to the community. Professor Don Gier hosts the monthly roundtable professional development sessions of the regional PMI chapter (PMI Mile-Hi), and students can attend as part of their enrollment in the program. Regis also serves as the sponsor of the annual Women in Project Leadership and Management conference each fall and the annual PMI Mile-Hi Symposium each spring.
Additionally, our students complete a ‘live project’ where students work with a local business to help those businesses move forward. This provides a capstone experience for the PLM-MBA students, where they practice applying this work and graduating with work-ready and hirable skills.
In this capstone experience, you’ll work with a team to deliver a project and plan to an actual company. Students in this class will be taking various project leadership positions, researching avenues for businesses to grow into new lanes and working directly with and presenting results directly to company leadership.
Team up with your peers in an operations management simulation, making all of the decisions for a company to operate and compete with teams around the world. You’ll develop a complete systems approach to decision making and get to see the results of those decisions.
Discover how to use the most common agile practices such as Scrum, Kanban and hybrid approaches. You’ll also work to understand the people side of Agile Development, including leadership, team development and customer collaboration by using common Agile practices such as user stories, backlogs, sprints, demonstrations and retrospectives.
