Magisterprogram, projektledning och verksamhetsutveckling

Today most of the development work and implementation of new technologies are performed as projects. At the same time there is a great lack of project managers on all levels as well as lack of understanding of the most efficient way of realizing a project. This in spite of the fact that there are several standards and developed methodologies for assuring the quality and success of project realization.

The aim of the programme is to make the participants able to:

• Function as a project manager, even in large projects
• Develop the project management team
• Understand and use the tools necessary for planning and executing projects
• Design stochastic models for simulating risks processes and project execution
• Takethe responsibility as a sponsor for more than one project by havingproven tools for follow-ups and a management system that really works
• Develop and implement the management system that serves its purpose

Programme outline

The programme is based upon two standards for assuring quality and success in project management; ISO 10006 and ANSI 99 – 00 – 2000 (PMBOK). This means that, in the programme all aspects of project management will be presented the way a large group of international experts on project management and quality has intended.

Furthermore, one of the most important tools of quality and operational development, as expressed for instance in the 6 sigma movement, is statistics. One of the blocks is thus aiming at giving profound knowledge in how to use statistics and stochastic methods to understand processes and project planning.

Also recognized areas of great importance are leadership and management. Two of the blocks are covering this from two different aspects. One is covering the team leader role and the other the importance of a management system and how to successfully develop and implement that system.
