Content
Project management has become a standard way of doing business, whether that's in creative humanistic projects, providing or upgrading business process services or launching a new product. Organisations have recognised that the powerful set of tools this result-oriented management style offers has the capacity to improve their ability to plan, implement and manage activities. This is a requirement to successfully compete in the global markets. Conversely, competing in global markets influenced by change, innovation and time to market, requires organisations to manage multiple projects. To be able to select and manage projects that contribute positively to an organisation's strategic direction, an integrative approach is needed. This unit provides students with an insight into Agile project management (e.g. Scrum Model) and its application in organisations. It offers students an opportunity to gain knowledge in specific tools and techniques of project management and analyse the process of integrating projects into organisations so as to contribute positively to strategic directions. In this unit, students will also examine some of the current issues in project management and consider project management career paths.
