Prerequisites

Project managers need general management skills, along with a knack for problem solving. Project managers exist to plan and manage the work - to be a leader and a manager, a problem solver, a negotiator and an influencer, to be an excellent communicator, a good organiser, and a competent and consistent planner.

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course the student should be able to :
- understand the importance but also the difficulty of project work
- develop familiarity with the relevant range of related project management tools and techniques.
- be made aware of your skill ability in teamwork, problem solving, research gathering, communication, time management, information synthesising, and in utilising project management tools
- recognise the reality of the project manager role as complex, multi-faceted and dealing with social systems, as opposed to the simple application of a tool-set
- mastering project management practices, tools and techniques
- develop leadership and teamwork qualities
- manage a project from the inception to completion in an autonomous fashion

Course description

In many organisations, projects are the units of work by which the organisation operates, and value is delivered. In organisations where functional departments dominate the organisational design, strategic and change projects are run across these functions. Currently, there is a heightened emphasis on delivery within both government and industry with a widespread expectation that the approach of managing through projects will provide assurance in such delivery. This module enables your skills as a project manager in a simulated context. You learn by ‘doing it’; by actually running a project from the start to the end.
