Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will be able to reconstruct the project planning for typical and manageable student IT projects in functional project management.
 
They will be capable of independently implementing an adequate form of project organization and exercising project governance during the continuous project development cycle. They will be able to recognize deviations from the plan and adjust project planning accordingly.
 
Students will learn to use basic project management tools, i. e. they can create work-breakdown structures, map workflows with the precedence diagram method and understand the consequences of plan changes.
 
They will learn to prepare and conduct meetings and to communicate their information and the results for efficient project control.
 
Students will become familiar with estimation processes for IT projects and know how to use them in such projects in order to stabilize project planning.
 
They will develop an understanding of how to work in project teams and assume project management functions.
