General 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 application in professional project management.
The course centres on projects carried out in a context of a mother organisation. The central issue is how the project manager can most efficiently deal with actors in the mother organisation, something which might be decisive for the success of the project. In particular, issues of the demarcation, planning, organsation and conclusion of individual projects 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 in groups with authentic cases. Students who take the course as distance education must have access to computer with broadband Internet access and Flash Player installation as well as communication equipment including a web camera.
