Projects are pivotal for many organisations to achieve their strategic objectives. Successful projects require careful analysis, planning, implementation and monitoring and the ability to create and nurture teams. It is essential that all professionals, whether they are working in the sciences, business, engineering, information technology, health or education have the skills and knowledge to work in and manage complex projects. To successfully deliver a project, it is important to understand the technical and socio-cultural dimensions of project management. In this course, students learn the practical skills to properly plan, execute, monitor and close successful projects. Since every project relies on the combined efforts of many individuals and groups who are delivering it, the course also explores the best ways to effectively communicate, provide leadership and work with other people in multi-skilled team environment. Realistic, practical exercises are integrated in to the course so that students experience all aspects of the Project Life Cycle.
