Beschreibung des Kurses: The course is focused on the fundamental theories of project management. The course begins with a definition of project management followed by a discussion of its limitations from the perspective of line management. The organizational and theoretical aspects of projects and their impact are considered in detail. Students are then presented with the usual methods of project management (e.g. PRINCE2, PMBOK Guide, V-Model, and Scrum) and their possible applications. Following an introduction to the basic methods of project management, consideration is given to multi-project management, as it is often seen in international corporations and has its own distinct challenges. Multi-project management shares many similarities with portfolio project management which is also discussed in detail. Students are made aware of the instruments and processes used for project portfolio coordination and steering. To compliment an understanding of formal tools and methods (so-called hard factors), there is a short discussion of soft factors, which are critical to the eventual success of any project.
