From second semester 2009, the Faculty of Information Technology is introducing FIT5057 Project management. The introduction of this new subject is due to popular demand from students and the employment marketplace. Students must be enrolled in a Postgraduate course at Monash University to undertake this unit.
Many companies are now regarding project management as being mandatory for the survival of the firm. Organisational redesign is occurring at a rapid rate because of shorter product life cycles, rapidly changing already dynamic environments, accelerated development of sophisticated information systems, and increased marketplace competitiveness. Because of these factors, companies are considering project management organisations as a solution. Additionally, project management is often used as a training ground to prepare future general managers, as in fact project managers get to know more about the total operation of a company than most executives.
Project management can be beneficial to you no matter which industry you belong to or would like to be in such as the aeronautical, construction or technology industries.
The subject focuses on a holistic approach to project management. The aim of the subject is to provide students with a high level of understanding of the processes of project management, as well as sound skills in use of project tools. Proficiency in using key tools and concepts give students a significant competitive advantage in the market place.
The content deals with areas such as concepts and definitions, organizing and staffing the project office and team, planning, scheduling techniques, cost control, risk management, contracts and procurement.
