Syllabus
Registration via LPIS
The course introduces students to the basic concepts and principles of Project Management. It covers project initiation as well as project management methods such as project objectives plan, work break down structure, project scheduling, project stakeholder management, project organisation and roles. Students apply these methods and concepts on their training projects. This course is both, theoretically based and hands on. By that it allows insights into the Project Management practice and enables students to reflect benefits and limits of project management. The course enables students to structure and manage small to medium sized-projects on their own.
