According to the standard of higher education in the specialty 126 Information systems and technologies of the field of knowledge 12 Information technologies for the first (bachelor) level of higher education and the educational and professional program of the first (bachelor) level of higher education of the discipline "Project management» forms (KZ7)ability to develop and manage projects, (KZ8)the ability to evaluate and ensure the quality of the work performed, (KS9)ability to develop business solutions and evaluate new technology offerings, (KS14)the ability to form new competitive ideas and implement them in projects (startups),(CS18)the ability to solve the problems of integration processes of information systems in the sphere of production and management using methods of analysis and synthesis of means of transmission, storage and processing of information, the basics of a service-oriented approach to servicing users of information systems, basic and applied information technologies and IT infrastructure toolsand (PRN8) withapply the rules for the design of project materials of information systems and technologies, know the composition and sequence of project work, taking into account the requirements of the relevant regulatory and legal documents for implementation in professional activities,(PRN11)to demonstrate the ability to develop a technical and economic rationale for the development of information systems and technologies and to be able to evaluate the economic efficiency of their implementation.

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

1. Policy of academic discipline (educational component)

The system of requirements for the student:

• rules for attending classes: it is forbidden to evaluate the presence or absence of the winner in the classroom class, including the awarding of incentive or penalty points. According to the RSO of this discipline, points are awarded for the corresponding types of educational activity in lectures and laboratory classes;
• module tests are performed without the use of auxiliary information from the Internet, a distance course on the Sikorsky platform, notes; incentive points are awarded for educational activity in lectures. The number of encouraged points is no more than 10;
• academic integrity policy: Code of Honor of the National Technical University of Ukraine "Ihor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute"https://kpi.ua/files/honorcode.pdf establishes general moral principles, rules of ethical behavior of individuals and provides a policy of academic integrity for persons working and studying at the university, which they should be guided by in their activities, including when studying and preparing control measures for the discipline "Project management".

1. 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:

Points R=	ECTS assessment	Traditional assessment
95 - 100	perfectly	Enrolled
85 - 94	very good
75 - 84	fine
65 - 74	satisfactorily
60 - 64	enough
R < 60	Not satisfactory	Not counted
The plan was not executed		not allowed

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:

Points	Rating
95-100	perfectly
85-94	very good
75-84	fine
65-74	satisfactorily
60-64	enough
Less than 60	unsatisfactorily
Failure to complete seven laboratory works and completion of the MCR for the grade "unsatisfactory"	not allowed

1. 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.
