Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The course focuses primarily on management and working methods in development and change projects within industrial operations. A project is a structured approach to handling temporary and unique tasks. Virtually all development and change work in industrial companies is carried out as projects.

The course includes several different learning activities, such as lectures, a group assignment, an individual assignment, and a written exam. Topics covered in the course include:

  • What is a project, and how does a project differ from other organizational forms?
  • Different types of projects
  • Goal setting in projects
  • Project organization
  • Project planning, project management, and follow-up
  • Risk and stakeholder management
  • Communication in projects
  • Reflection on experiences from managing course projects.

Intended learning outcomes

Upon successful completion of the course, the student should be able to:

1. Explain the concepts, methods, and tools of project management.

2. Formulate project objectives that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound.

3. Apply the concepts, methods, and tools of project management by developing a project plan.

4. Describe how the management of a project can be prepared, implemented, and continuously developed.
