The course sheds light on key topics and terminology related to the project management subject, such as initiation, planning, implementation, follow-up, profit realization and project models.
The course consists of a relatively broad base and an introduction is given to both internal and external projects. The course has both a theoretical and practical dimension. For example, we work in groups with a project assignment based on a game / simulation called "The Project Management Game" (PM Game). Here, students get the chance to try their hand as a project manager and must, among other things, use techniques for planning, implementation and follow-up of projects in order to succeed.
In addition, an introduction is given to organizational project management and decision-making systems, ie how organizations can utilize internal project decision-making tools for strategic change, continuous improvement and innovation
