Description

This is an advanced module and designed for students who have studied management topics previously. The content will cover complex topics which are not suited to students with no prior knowledge of subjects related to the field.

This module enables students to critically assess aspects of strategic project management. Organisations have to choose where they focus their resources and what they hope to achieve. Strategic project management introduces the key principles of project, programme and portfolio (P3) management, focusing on how projects are selected, sustained and completed. Students have the opportunity to understand how P3 management relates to operational management. This module introduces the key tools and techniques to initiate, plan and manage projects, programmes and portfolios within the context of business strategy. Essential management skills such as leadership, team building and conflict management will be explored in the context of strategic management of projects, programmes and portfolios. Through a blended learning approach, students are encouraged to evaluate organisational strategies through case studies both in lectures and coursework. Through strategic business relationships, case studies are both current and relevant. The focus is on providing students with insights based on current practice, significant industry experience and professional standards. The principles focus, in particular, on theory from the Association for Project Management (APM). Students will have the opportunity to take the APM Project Fundamentals Qualification (APM PFQ) and gain an industry recognised project qualification, as an optional extra.
