A student gets knowledge and understanding of the techniques and methods of defining and managing corporate IT development projects/ IT-projects and their implementation as the disciplined and managed projects.

A student gets the ability to plan information systems development projects and to contribute in such projects.

A student is capable to work in a role of junior level project manager or in project management team

The course is based on the case material and exercises taken from the true IT-projects.

The course is started by making sense with the key terms and concepts which is followed by a tutorial entry assignment focusing on the core of managing projects, that is about defining the scope and schedule for a simple IT-project.

Learning further on is divided by major themes linked loosely to the main phases of the project lifecycle that are initialization, planning and execution of an IT-project.

Theme 1 is about initializing for the project holding an analysis of a true IT-project where the student(s) (either individually or in teams) shall do conclusions of desired benefits by the case company on top of the given material. A such this assignment is focused on the very first activities prior to start of actual planning and execution. Doing a business case is a short extension after the assignment.

Theme 2 is holding a few key activities the next theme deals with risk, stakeholder and communication management that are activities running through the entire project life cycle from the initialization thru planning and execution

Theme 3 is a brief extension to the discussion of planning phase, which were already covered in the first entry task. Here the point is deepening understanding of the planning techniques and methods

Theme 4: Why do IT-projects fail? Understanding the causes behind failures and challenges in IT-projects as well as the characteristics of successful IT-projects and optimizing the benefits. Rationale of failures, How to improve the successfulness of IT-Projects and about the benefits realization management are the discussed topics here.

The people perspective in projects is exercised by means of minor project management assignments related to challenges faced by project team and manager. They are scheduled to be done in parallel of the actual themes as a collection of assignments of their own.

The course is an online course run in 14 weeks both in the autumn and spring semesters but it is also adapted for a VIR-course and 8 weeks blended course in Finnish (TIKO).

The online lessons are organized in terms of biweekly system - lessons every second week and working among the given assignments in between.
The content of course could be adapted by request for a passing grade option which is doing less by a grade 1 - 2.

Application for recognition of prior learning or by choice, studifying one's working in company is considered by request.
