Learning Objectives:

Companies are increasingly managed, changed and further developed by projects. Too often, projects fail, exceed costs or only partially achieve their goals. Project management must be a core competence of a business information scientist. In his working environment he will work in projects most of the time.

 

The lecture provides the basics in project management. It is about the knowledge transfer of methods and techniques as well as knowledge about the necessary social competences for project management. Through practice-oriented case studies, students learn to apply this knowledge and work out solutions independently. Particular emphasis is placed on teamwork, conflict resolution and problem solving.


These skills are tested in a computer-based project simulation. In it, students can experience the consequences of project planning, leadership activities or teamwork and receive measurable feedback.

 

At the end of the module, students can take the exam for the internationally recognized project management certificate of the International Project Management Association (IPMA) as Certified Project Management Associate (IPMA Level D).
