This module has been accredited by the professional body - the Association for Project Management (APM). At the end of this course students will be able to recognise and define the key characteristics and components of a project, understand the advantages/disadvantages associated with the management of both small and large projects, and have an appreciation of the strategic tools and techniques available to enable effective or efficient project management leading to a 'High Performance Team'. The acquired skills will be reinforced by the completion of a group project to produce an initial feasibility report (e.g. a business case/project management plan document) for a major regional project.
