Synopsis:

The aim of this course is to get the students knowledgeable all parts and phases of software project management: software requirement specification. feasibility study, development process definition, risk analysis, capacity and resource planning, project timing, versioning, system of changes and its management, revisions, verifications, project qualification, and personal and financial project management. During the seminars the students will get a challenging chance to get basic practical skills with a sample project.

Requirements:

For successful completion of the course, it is necessary to present the results of the individual work to other students and explain the approaches used.
