Project Management and Leadership in Software Development, 7,5 Credits
Companies are restructuring, and most of them are adopting a project-based organization; thus, effective handling and managing of projects is a necessary skill in all social sectors and almost all students are expected to deal with project management and leadership soon after graduation. This is primarily a case in IT and software-intensive industries.
This course is designed to prepare students for effective handling and managing of projects. It aims to develop the student’s knowledge in project management and leadership (focusing on software development), including theoretical foundations for different types of leadership and team management in knowledge-intensive environments, the general structure of projects and project planning for software development, and practical implications for running a software project smoothly and successfully.
