Description of the educational discipline, its purpose, subject of study and learning outcomes

**Description of the discipline.**The relevance and necessity of studying the discipline of "Project Management" is due both to the processes of Ukraine's integration into global society and the need for further development of the information society. Among professional personnel, there is an acute lack of skills in formalization, preparation and project management. The practical orientation of the educational discipline is determined by the urgent need to master the world experience of development, analysis, implementation and management of projects, especially in the field of information systems and software development. This course introduces students to modern views on the main theoretical, methodological and organizational foundations of project management; project management methods at all phases of the project life cycle; features, principles and tasks of project management in the field of informatization; with the capabilities of the most common project management software tools in Ukraine; creation of a project management information system in the MS Project environment; organization, planning, control and regulation of IT project management processes. Students should learn to apply the acquired knowledge of project management when implementing projects of informatization of socio-economic objects, reengineering of business processes, consulting projects related to the implementation of information technologies, etc.

**The subject of the academic discipline:**project management processes and tools used by the project manager for effective management, project management methodology.

**Interdisciplinary connections.**DisciplineManagementprojectsis based on the disciplines: Software Development Technologies, Systems Theory and System Analysis, Computer networks,Databases, Theory of algorithms.

**The purpose of the educational discipline.**The purpose of the discipline is to thoroughly acquaint students with the theoretical foundations of the methodology of preparation and implementation, methods and means of building projects, attracting resources for the implementation of these projects and their management mechanisms for various subject areas.

Policy and control

Policy of academic discipline (educational component)

The system of requirements for the student:

• attending lectures and laboratory classes is a mandatory component of studying the material;

• the teacher uses his own presentation material at the lecture; uses Google Drive for teaching the material of the current lecture, additional resources, laboratory work, etc.; the teacher opens access to a certain Google Drive directory for downloading electronic laboratory reports and answers to the MKR;

• during lectures, it is forbidden to distract the teacher from teaching the material, all questions, clarifications, etc. students ask at the end of the lecture in the time allotted for this;

• laboratory works are defended in two stages - the first stage: students perform tasks for admission to the defense of laboratory work; the second stage is protection of laboratory work. Points for laboratory work are taken into account only if there is an electronic report;

• modular control work is written in lectures without the use of auxiliary devices (mobile phones, tablets, etc.); the result is forwarded in a file to the corresponding Google Drive directory;

• incentive points are awarded for: active participation in lectures; participation in faculty and institute olympiads in academic disciplines, participation in work competitions, preparation of reviews of scientific works; presentations on one of the topics of the SRS discipline, etc. The number of encouraged points is more than 10.

Teaching methods

When teaching an educational discipline, the use of such educational technologies as: problem-based lectures, work in small groups, etc. is provided for the activation of the educational process.

Problem lecturesare aimed at the development of students' logical thinking and are characterized by the fact that the range of questions of the topic is limited to two or three key points, the students' attention is concentrated on the material that was not reflected in the textbooks, it is usedthe experience of foreign educational institutions with the distribution of printed material to students during lectures and the selection of the main conclusions on the issues under consideration. During lectures, students are given questions for independent reflection, but the lecturer answers them himself, without waiting for the students' answers. The system of questions during the lecture plays an activating role, forces students to concentrate and start actively thinking in search of the right answer.

Mini-lecturesinvolve the presentation of educational material in a short period of time and are characterized by a significant capacity, complexity of logical constructions, images, proofs and generalizations. Mini-lectures are held, as a rule, as part of a research class.

Case method(method of analysis of specific situations) makes it possible to bring the learning process closer to the real practical activity of specialists and provides consideration of production, management and other situations, complex conflict cases, problem situations, incidents in the process of learning educational material.

Types of control and rating system for evaluating learning outcomes (RSO)

The student's rating in the discipline consists of the points he receives for:

1. performance and protection of 5 laboratory works;

2. execution of 1 modular control work (MKR).

System of rating points and evaluation criteria

Laboratory works:

"perfectly", a complete answer to the questions during the defense (at least 90% of the required information) and a properly prepared protocol for laboratory work - 10 points;

"good", a sufficiently complete answer to the questions during the defense (at least 75% of the required information) and a properly prepared protocol for laboratory work - 8 points;

"satisfactory", incomplete answer to the questions during the defense (at least 60% of the required information), minor errors and a properly prepared protocol for laboratory work - 6 points;

"unsatisfactory", an unsatisfactory answer and/or an improperly prepared protocol for laboratory work - 0 points.

Modular control works:

"perfectly", complete answer (at least 90% of the required information) – 50 points;

"fine", a sufficiently complete answer (at least 75% of the required information), or a complete answer with minor errors - 40 points;

"satisfactorily", an incomplete answer (but not less than 60% of the required information) and minor errors - 30 points;

"unsatisfactorily", unsatisfactory answer (incorrect problem solution), requires mandatory rewriting at the end of the semester - 0 points.

Incentive points

for active work at lectures1 point

Intersessional certification

According to the results of educational work for the first 7 weeks, the maximum possible number of points is 20 points. At the first certification (8th week), the student receives "credited" if his current rating is not less than 10 points.

According to the results of 13 weeks of training, the maximum possible number of points is 32 points. At the second certification (14th week), the student receives "credited" if his current rating is not less than 16 points.

Maximum amountweight points of control measures during the semester is:

R=5*rlab+rmkr=5*10+50=100.

Students who at the end of the semester have a rating of less than 60 points, as well as those who want to improve their rating, complete a credit test.

The test consists of 4 questions. Each is evaluated with 25 points.

The sum of points for each of the four questions () is translated into a passing grade according to the table:

Test:

The sum of the starting points and the points for the modular control work is converted into a final grade according to the table:

Additional information on the discipline (educational component)

• the list of theoretical questions submitted for semester control is given in Appendix 1;

• at the beginning of the semester, the teacher analyzes the existing courses on the topic of the discipline and offers students to take the corresponding free courses. After the student receives a certificate of completion of remote or online courses on the relevant topic, the teacher closes the relevant part of the course (laboratory or lectures) by prior agreement with the group.
