Procesmanagement en besluitvorming in een project omgeving

This course is only accessible as an elective if you have demonstrable knowledge of project management (by way of pass on a project management course on BSc or MSc level)

Projects are generally managed with a strong focus on predicting the schedule, budget, scope resources and tasks. That phase of predicting is then followed by a strong focus on controlling the works towards the predicted outcome (predict and control).

However, many projects have to deal with significant uncertainties, leading to surprises in the execution of the project. Process management offers a different view on projects, focussed on dealing with surprises by preparing for them and committing parties to the project (prepare and commit). It can help steer the project from separated task orientation to an integrated goal orientation.

The course introduces the students to the way in which process management can be used in projects and how that translates to contracts, structures and day-to-day management.

This course is part of the minor project management. (Please contact the module manager in case you would like to follow this course outside the minor program).
