Project Management involves the application of knowledge, tools, skills, and techniques to project activities with the aim of meeting project requirements. This is achieved by adeptly applying and integrating project processes to execute projects in an effective and efficient manner. 

In the current economic landscape characterised by rapidly evolving technologies, both public and private organisations are compelled to navigate projects within constrained budgets, abbreviated timeframes, and frequently, limited resources. Consequently, a nuanced comprehension of the pivotal role of project management becomes imperative. Such understanding enables the analysis of potential failure mechanisms and elucidates how systematic monitoring and management can guide organisations and public entities toward the successful attainment of their project objectives. 

 As organisations increasingly recognise the strategic importance of effective project management, professionals in this field must be equipped with a comprehensive set of skills and knowledge. This module serves as a pedagogical instrument, meticulously crafted to furnish you with insight into the manner in which projects generate value and benefits for organisations and society at large. It achieves this by delving into project management theories and practical case studies, positioning you at the intersection of theoretical knowledge and real-world application. Through the utilisation of case studies, you will gain exposure to the triumphs and setbacks of various large-scale projects, scrutinising them through the lenses of cost, scope, and schedule management, as well as stakeholder and risk management theories. 

 Moreover, this module seeks to instil a deep understanding of the ethical considerations inherent in project management. Examining the ethical dimensions of decision-making processes, resource allocation, and stakeholder engagement, you will develop a keen awareness of the moral responsibilities associated with steering projects to successful fruition. By emphasising the ethical underpinnings of project management practices, this educational endeavour aims to produce project managers who not only excel in delivering results but also operate with integrity and social responsibility, thereby contributing to sustainable and ethical business practices.
