| DESCRIPTION | This unit is targeted at enabling students to both integrate in, and set up, effective software development teams and other collectives. Both technical and human resource aspects will be considered. Traditional challenging issues will be expounded and discussed and approaches explained. Another aim of this study-unit is to provide students with metrication and estimation methods relating to software projects, ranging from cost estimation to availability calculations. Classwork will take the form of on-line participation in various tasks and exercises. Therefore, this component cannot be resit-able. Study-unit Aims: This study-unit aims to provide students with the necessary knowledge, insight and appreciation for the effective application of software project management techniques which will prove useful as they progress in their career and take on more responsible roles. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to understand the usefulness and help that understanding human and technical resource allocation and nurturing, in terms of software development environments, as well as what the correct use of solution metrication from various aspects can translate to in terms of team-work. 2. Skills: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to correctly select, customise and apply various software project approaches and techniques. In this way, increasing the overall quality of their professional effort and the competitive aspect of their organisation.
