Perspectives on Project Management Methodology
7.5 ECTS credits
The course deals with the theoretical basis and techniques of general project management with a focus on their practical application to professional project management as well as on the critical examination of their application in different perspectives.
The individual project as a phenomenon forms the basis of the course and the project is viewed from a project management perspective. The domain project is delimited to projects carried out in a context of a mother organisation, in which the project's relations to actors in mother organisation are decisive for the success of the project.
In particular, issues of the demarcation, planning, organsation and conclusion of the individual project are studied, as is the interaction between the project management and the management of the organisation in which the project is carried out.
Instruction is in the form of lectures, laboratory work and seminars. Students work throughout the course on authentic cases in groups. They are also expected to submit individual assignments requiring reflection and the critical testing of models and methods. Off-campus students must have broadband connection and Flash Player installation as well as relevant communication equipment including a web camera.
