Purpose & Overarching Content: In recent years, there has been a rapid growth in the use of project management methods and tools as a means by which organisations achieve their strategic objectives. Projects drive business activities and are vehicles for change in a wide variety of sectors, from private sector manufacturing and service companies, to government and public sector organisations and not for profit charities and humanitarian groups. Irrespective of the product or service sector, good project management techniques will provide benefits to the customer in a timely manner and within budget. In this regard, the module will cover topics such as planning, scheduling, budgeting, stakeholder management, leadership and risk management which are some of the key issues that need to be understood and practiced by managers to realise successful project delivery. The module addresses various concepts, frameworks, and tools as well as their application to management of projects in different contexts.
