This module introduces project management – as a concept, a practice, a skill and a key management resource in achieving organisational strategy and implementing change in organisations.

Project management is a vital component in the toolkit of graduates, managers and leaders, and can be deployed across multiple sectors to achieve a wide range of organisational goals.

This module focuses on planning and implementing projects that impact organisations, their strategic goals and their operations through business technologies. It also equips you with knowledge about business technologies, which feature in a majority of graduate roles, along with the confidence and ability to learn new technologies as you encounter them.
