Content

Work within a company can be divided into daily operations and projects. The first type of work is based on routine and uses, among other things, business process management for organizational optimization. The second type of work includes assignments that are finite in time and where routine plays a less important role. To optimally organize and manage project work, various project management methodologies have been developed and introduced in recent decades that can be divided into 2 major paradigms, classical vs agile project management.

The purpose of this course is to familiarize students with the principles and goals of project management. We study various phases that occur in most projects, such as the project discovery phase, the project planning phase and the project execution phase. Furthermore, we study the classical and agile project management paradigms and what the differences are between them.
