Project Management and QA

The Project Management and Quality Assurance module provides students with an overview of different projects and their backgrounds, as well as a discussion on the organisation’s culture and how this affects the successful completion or otherwise of a project. To manage the project, students must identify the project boundaries, ensure resources are available and organise them for efficient implementation, and define a governance and organisational set-up. Project reporting should be in place throughout the project based on expected milestones. Project management involves preparing quality plans, estimating resources, drawing responsibility charts, using control cubes, s-curves, bar charts, networks, and other planning methods, and executing the project effectively and efficiently. Students must also set up robust processes to ensure they reach goals, such as work approvals, allocation of resources, team management, progress measurement, forecasting, and project completion.
