Agile project management (AGILEPM)

Closed

The management of projects plays an important part in everyday working life. The project aims to make the transition between studying and working as seamless as possible, and to communicate skills in the area of project management with the help of a new teaching concept. The Lake Constance region, with its many innovative companies has to face worldwide competition – and the best minds too. The fast pace of change requires a high level of adaptability, with the corresponding requirement for lifelong learning. Seamless learning starts with fragmented learning experiences: What is learned in school is not used in later studying; studies or further training do not provide the elements relevant to practice. The aim of seamless learning is to overcome fractures – between individual learning stages, between the school and occupational areas, and from analogue to digital. New technologies are also deployed. In many places, projects dominate everyday working life and they are becoming increasingly complex. Project management is therefore developing into a key qualification – and indeed in the service-orientated Lake Constance region. Social and communications skills are therefore the crucial factors for success. They cannot be learned in theory alone. The gap between theory and practice could therefore hardly be greater than in project management. The research project therefore aims to make the abrupt transition between study and work as seamless as possible in our region. A procedure model, a regulatory framework with specific training steps and supporting software will be developed for project management training. The teaching concept will then be tried out and optimised in a compulsory module on the Master course.
