Learning Outcome
After successful completion of the module, participants understand the key concepts of traditional and agile project management techniques and are able to deal with typical software project management problems such as writing a project plan, initiating and managing a small project, tailoring a software lifecycle, developing strategies for merge management, continuous integration or continous delivery. They also are familiar with the most important techniques of risk management, scheduling, planning, testing and delivery and apply them to solve simple problems.

Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
Type of Assessment: exam
The exam takes the form of a 90 minutes written test. Knowledge questions assess the acquaintance of the students about typical software project management problems. Problem tasks assess the ability to describe management problems such as scetching a software plan, designing a configuration management plan, a branching model or a relese plan. By scetching these plans and models the students demonstrate that they have understood the principles of software project management and are able to apply these.
