Project management is the discipline of managing a series of tasks within a given amount of time and within a budget.
This Unit is designed to develop an understanding of the concepts, principles, boundaries and scopes of project management with emphasis on issues and problems faced by managers of projects. This Unit also offers the candidate the opportunity to develop a project schedule using project management software in order to demonstrate how the use of such software can assist a project manager to deal with these particular issues and problems when managing projects. Project management plays a large role in the development of a wide range of organisational requirements such as government, construction, engineering, medicine and especially in computing and information technology. This Unit intends to provide candidates with the pre-requisite knowledge and skills required to conduct and manage a project. Candidates should acquire knowledge about the fundamental issues and problems of project management, as well as gain skills in the use of project management techniques. This may include the use of project management software solutions.
The Unit is also capable of being delivered as a standalone unit and may be of interest to candidates with appropriate work experience who hold positions such as project team leaders or team members who wish to broaden their knowledge and understanding of the principles and procedures as well as the software available to help manage a project.
