EBUS 616 - Executing, Controlling and Closing Projects

This module complements the knowledge of project management by introducing the students to programme and portfolio management, as well the process and tools and techniques for putting the plans into practice whilst establishing necessary monitoring and control structures to handle issues which could influence the smooth progress of a project/programme/portfolio. The module therefore will consist of two interrelating parts:

To provide an opportunity for students to extend their knowledge of PM by understanding aspects of managing multiple projects in the form of programmes or portfolio. Programme and portfolio management, their life cycles, resource management and change management including a range of tools and techniques relevant to the subject will be included;

To describe the project phase that involves the execution of the plans created during the project planning phase, as taught in the Planning with Risk and Uncertainty module. The goal of the execution stage is to complete the project/programme work specified in the project management plan to meet the project requirements. While each plan is being executed, a series of management processes are undertaken to monitor and control the deliverables being output by the project.
