Today organisations are constantly needing to adapt to ensure their survival. Organisations increasingly use project management to direct and control initiatives to bring about such change.
Project management tools and techniques can be applied successfully in various domains, for example, introducing new products and services, developing and implementing new policies, restructuring organisations, constructing capital infrastructure, and in the planning, building and implementing of information technology systems.
Contemporary professionals will most certainly be impacted by project work, and many will be responsible for the management of projects. A knowledge of the project management bodies of knowledge, their strengths and weaknesses, and the ability to use and consume project management tools and artefacts are critical for today鈥檚 professional.

The course provides an overview, through the use of problem-based learning, of the two dominant methodologies for managing project work: agile and waterfall. These two methodologies vary in their underlying principles, iterative versus incremental, and have distinct toolsets.

In this course students explore the strengths and weaknesses of both methodologies to determine the situations in which they are best applied. The course also equips students to appreciate the similarities and differences between the methodologies and how hybrid approaches may operate in practice.

For both the agile and waterfall methodologies they will develop, through group learning, skills in applying the foundational concepts and tools to real-world problems.

On successful completion of this course students should be able to:

1. compare and contrast project management principles, methodologies and tools to propose an integrated project management approach;
2. use evidence to justify a chosen project management approach;
3. apply project management tools in accordance with industry practice for the management of projects;
4. contribute effectively to group work to undertake project management activities;
5. create communications of a professional standard to engage stakeholders and justify proposals
