Project Governance

The course deals with project management in multi-project environments and the organisation's handling of the projects. In particular, the project as a phenomenon is treated from an overriding, management perspective. Business-oriented project evaluations and decisions, applications of project models and models of learning from projects in multi-project environments constitute the core components.

Lectures on organisation, processes, strategies and learning in organisations are followed by project related lectures on project models, project offices and project decisions. Throughout the course students work in groups with application assignments.

Instruction is in the form of lectures, laboratory work and seminars. There is an emphasis on authentic case group work, and the cases can be drawn from the student's previous field of studies or special interests, such as business systems, business administration or working life studies. Off-campus students must have broadband connection and Flash Player installation as well as relevant communication equipment including a web camera.
