Synopsis:

The subject deals with project management, its meaning, concept and tools. Emphasis is placed on resource planning, assignment of resources to tasks, duration and its change, further monitoring of project progress, reorganization (replanning) of unfinished work, etc.). The subject also includes display and visualization of the project, formatting of tables and graphs, form displays, calendar display, network diagram, resource diagram, custom display options, etc. Students also process a fictitious project using current software tools to support project management.

During the seminars, students apply knowledge from the lectures, especially for the project planning stage (i.e. the pre-project phase and partly the project phase of the project). As part of the seminar, projects of a smaller scale will be solved, on which students apply selected techniques according to IPMA.
