Aim
The students get acquainted with the methodology and tools of implementing complex systems with specific conditions, using a variety of knowledge. The corporate practice is that the development of specific technical solutions is done in teamwork. The complexity is increased by the fact that the entire system is designed for IT, finance, business, legal, marketing, etc., elements of the subject, cooperation with these factors is required. This globally accepted, continuously updated project management methodology also provides an opportunity for the best students to earn a project management certification issued by PMI at the end of the course. In addition to PMBOK knowledge, we also deal with the relationship between project portfolio management and agile management, and the methods used in manufacturing.

The student constantly monitors his work, results and conclusions. It expands your knowledge of project management through the continuous acquisition of knowledge. Open to the use of information technology tools. It seeks to learn about and routinely use the tools needed to solve problems in projects. It develops your ability to provide accurate and error-free problem solving, engineering precision and accuracy. It applies the principles of efficiency, sustainability, and environmental awareness in solving project management tasks. It monitors changes in the social, economic and political system. The student publishes his results in accordance with his professional rules. The student publishes its opinions and views without offending others.
Independence and responsibility
Collaborates with the instructor and fellow students to expand knowledge. Accepts well-founded professional and other critical remarks. In some situations, as part of a team, you work with your fellow students to solve tasks. With his knowledge, he makes a responsible, well-founded decision based on his analysis. The student feels responsible for the problems of project management and the sustainable use of the environment, as well as present and future generations. The student is committed to the principles and methods of systematic thinking and problem solving.
Teaching methodology
The teaching of the subject takes place in the framework of lectures and classroom practice. The lectures basically introduce the students to the information defined by the knowledge competence elements using frontal education. The application and acquisition of the knowledge take place in the seminar sessions, where the acquisition of practical knowledge takes place through basic project planning case studies.

General rules
Assessment of learning outcomes is a mid-year written summary performance measurement that takes place in a written exam. The exam considers both the knowledge competencies described in the lectures and the computational and planning competencies practiced in the seminar sessions. Only the aids and devices authorized and described by the examiner may be used in the examination. Admission to the exam is conditional on controlled participation in at least 75% of the seminar sessions.
Assessment methods
Detailed description of mid-term assessments
The subject does not include assessment performed during the semester period.
Detailed description of assessments performed during the examination period
Elements of the exam:
| Written partial exam | ||
| Obligation: | mandatory (partial) exam unit, failing the unit results in fail (1) exam result | |
| Description: | Learning outcomes are assessed by summative performance measurement with a written exam. Both the knowledge competencies given in the lectures and the ability competencies practiced in the seminar sessions will be taken into account in the exam. During the exam, we assess students' subject knowledge based on the multiple-choice processing of a set of test questions developed by the Project Management Institute. | |
The weight of mid-term assessments in signing or in final grading
The subject does not include assessment performed during the semester period.
The weight of partial exams in grade
| Type: | Proportion |
|---|---|
| Written partial exam | 100 % |
Determination of the grade
| Grade | ECTS | The grade expressed in percents |
|---|---|---|
| very good (5) | Excellent [A] | above 92 % |
| very good (5) | Very Good [B] | 85 % - 92 % |
| good (4) | Good [C] | 71 % - 85 % |
| satisfactory (3) | Satisfactory [D] | 56 % - 71 % |
| sufficient (2) | Pass [E] | 41 % - 56 % |
| insufficient (1) | Fail [F] | below 41 % |
The lower limit specified for each grade already belongs to that grade.
Attendance and participation requirements
Must be present at at least 70% (rounded down) of lectures.
