Course Objectives

Through your practical application of software project management techniques, the module will aim to highlight their problems. You will be expected to critically reflect on the inherent limitations of project management techniques to build a wider understanding and appreciation of the difficulties associated with developing software within a project framework. This will lead to a questioning of the notions of success and failure that are at the heart of project management and their relation to project-based approaches to software systems development.
