Description of module content:

By studying this module, you will learn the terminology, core theories and tools required for applying project management practices. In project management, the experts use organisational resources and initiatives for completing a range of tasks such as developing innovative services to improve public provision, constructing new building and infrastructure projects or developing software and digital applications. This module underpins the fundamentals of the field by increasing the understanding about managing projects within constraints such as time, cost, and quality. The key concepts of project management (in general as well as in the context of digital transformation) will be supported through case study discussions, guest lectures, and other in-class activities (i.e., peer-generated discussion). You will acquire several managerial skills as well as competencies that are key to becoming an effective project manager. The module will enable you to develop your existing skills and acquire new skills in areas including risk management, monitoring & control of projects, procurement, operations management, and digital technologies. By the end of the module, you will critically analyse complex nature of digital transformation projects and will obtain the knowledge of contemporary project management techniques (i.e., agile project management) and tools to support decision-making and ensure timely delivery of project objectives.
