The aim of this module is to provide a basic knowledge of IT project management principles and to enable learners to acquire insight into the practicalities of applying them by practising these principles within a controlled work-based setting.
Module content will cover an understanding of the nature of projects, setting up a project environment, establishing the project objectives, estimating, developing a plan, analyzing risk, monitoring and controlling a project, communicating effectively with stakeholders and team members, change control, acceptance and handover.
Learners will work in project teams and deal directly with the client, but the management of the project will reside with the tutor as students at this level cannot be expected to undertake many evaluative or analytical activities.
