Welcome to the Project Management (PM) module – I’m looking forward to working with you during the semester. In today’s rapidly changing technology and market environment, project-based organisations provide highly flexible, efficient, and responsive means of developing new products and services, shortening times to market, building major infrastructure systems and coping with the ever-increasing flow of new and complex business opportunities. Organisations must have (project) managers that are able to deal with such complexities. It is vital, therefore, that managers understand the tools, approaches, and strategies to manage projects and project-based organisations.

Lectures, readings and class discussions/simulations/activities are designed to help students develop the understanding and analytical skills needed to complete the assessment. The assessment then tests the students individually to assess how well they have developed both their factual understanding of the topic and their skills in applying their knowledge.
