71353 Project Management
About the course
This course is for people wanting to be able to manage projects in the IS/IT, engineering and business environments, from the proposal stage to the project's completion. A good understanding of computer systems and the technology that supports them is expected. Students need to find a project to manage, so we strongly advise you to discuss this with your lecturer well before the semester starts. Access to a modern personal computer and the Internet are essential as is a project management software (MS Project is recommended). Students must have a working knowledge of the software.
