Software Engineering Project Management

Explore software project management activities from product concept through development based upon best practices. Covered topics include software systems engineering, process management and control, and project planning and management.

After successful completion of the course, the student will understand how standard engineering practices applied to software products including life cycle development processes. The student will learn to manage software as a distinct project, use specifications and descriptions, make use of structured and object-oriented techniques, complete reviews and audits, confirm product development with planned verification, and validation and testing.

Throughout the course, we will be applying the systems engineering and project management principles to Harvard a case studies.
