First we give an overview of Classic Mistakes and how to avoid them in terms of Development Fundamentals. Then we go every week into more detail: Schedule-Oriented Practices, Lifecycle planning, Estimation, Scheduling, and Risk Management.
The course provides an examination of project management principles and modern software project management practices. The five process groups and nine knowledge areas of the Project Management are examined in the context of the systems development lifecycle. Techniques for measuring, estimating scheduling and managing risks of software projects are presented along the course. Experts from industry are also invited to give guest lectures.
Students work in groups to create their own project plan of a green software application.
