Strategic Project Management

MODULE SUMMARY (INDICATIVE)

The module introduces students to project management and the role of project managers in an organisational environment. This encompasses a number of strategic issues such as Time Planning, Cost and Quality Planning when resources have to be shared amongst a number of demanding projects. Risk management is an element of this approach. The teaching approach includes case study and examples of project management, successful and unsuccessful, which have been documented in the past. Group discussion will allow the students to appreciate the subjectiveness of project management in contrast to the scientific approach of project planning.

AIMS

• to provide an introduction to project management and the project lifecycle (both theoretical and practical), of relevance in all organisational contexts this will:

· improve knowledge and understanding of critical management approaches

· enhance the ability to manage complex projects in changing and developing environments

· provide a sound basis to extend their management capability in this area.
