Manage large projects by identifying their key characteristics, examining the key factors and risks that affect their performance, and exploring methods to counteract their impact on successful project delivery. By looking for examples of best practice, you will explore the relationship between projects, programs and portfolios. You will also discover the roles played by the project manager, examine the difficulties associated with quantifying transaction costs in managing major projects, and consider how different management approaches impact these costs. Optimism bias and strategic misunderstanding often cause delays in major engineering projects. Using stimulating case studies, you will assess measures of success and compare and contrast 'project success' versus 'project management success'. In the last week of the course, you will research and present a contemporary example of a major engineering project from your own country. This course explores concepts discussed in the University's Online Master of Engineering Management. If you are interested in developing your skills further, take a look at our online degree.
