Course Objectives: | The objective of this course is, within the concept of "project management", to gain the students the ability of designing many projects in life (and in advertising). Hence, in other words, the objective is from the organization of their weddings to designing advertising campaigs, to teach them the steps, main concepts of project management and mediate in their becoming effective and efficient project managers. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1) To clarify what project is 2) To differentiate what project management is 3) To describe the project life cycle 4) To identify the stakeholders of a project 5) To employ project initiation to any given project 6) To develope a project plan 7) To analyse how to execute a project 8) To determine how to control a given project 9) To formulate how to communicate about a project 10)To organise how to close a project 11)To assess any given project 12)To design a project 13)To manage a project |
The course will be held two-sided, on one side the students will learn theoretical knowledge about project management, on the other side, by the same time, they will analyse case studies and practise designing their own real-time projects. |
