Prerequisites
Software Engineering in theory and practice.Intended learning outcomes
Several challenges have to be reached to successfully manage and lead IT- projects both in enterprises and public organizations of today. This course aims to give students knowledge in how to analyse issues in managing projects and the organizational challenges that the implementation of new IT- based applications demand. After the course the students shall:
- be able to analyse, explain and examine issues related to the implementation of IS /IT that IT-project leaders confront with
- be able to develop and enhance knowledge about leading projects and being leader of IT projects
- Be able to identify and explain organizational prerequisites that stimulate possibilities as well as hindrances for cooperation between the project and the organization’ IT- infrastructure, as well as how these issues influence the implementation of the chosen applications.
- Analyse, examine and explain the role of the IT-project leader
Course content
Lectures treats theories concerning IT- project management and their use in enterprises and public organizations settings are discussed. Seminars are used to discuss the literature and there are therefore related to the projects and assignments the students work with. During the seminaries the students are requested to analyze and discuss the literature but also to explain how in a practical manner they use theories and principles in their own projects. Areas such as IT-project management, risk analysis, sped in IT development and organizational issues are discussed and analysed.
Teaching and working methods
The course is based on lectures, seminars, supervision and a project. The project is developed in groups where the student studies and analyzes issues related to management of IT-projects , organizational changes and the importance of IT-based innovations for the selected project. The students are requested to present the results of their studies in a poster session at the end of the course.
