Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
After passing the course, the student shall be able to
- describe different development methods for software
- apply appropriate methods for design and implementation in modern software development
- apply established principles of production of the documentation that are necessary for planning, implementation and delivery of software development projects
- apply general guidelines and design principles for rhetoric and oral presentation
- practise the different communication situations with different interested parties that are relevant in a software development project
- work in large software development project groups, where the individuals have different roles and responsibility
in order to be prepared to participate in IT projects, independently of the size of the project and the project group.
