The subject of "IT Project Management" deals with the planning and implementation of all the different processes of the software life cycle in IT projects, from the appearance of the need of one (or several) client(s) to the withdrawal of the product and/or the end of the project.
This subject includes topics purely of planning management and project control, as well as processes so important as configuration management, problems and changes management, processes of engineering and development, processes of verification and validation, and reviews and audits, etc. Given the nature of project management, the subject is organized according to the content of the PMBOK of PMI.

At the end of the course, students should master the following aspects:
1. Knowing, analysing and enhancing the factors that influence the success of a project.
2. To estimate the effort needed to carry out a project.
3. Set the calendar of milestones and deliveries and establish the project planning.
4. Know and perform the tasks of monitoring and control of a project.
5. Performing a risk analysis and taking the appropriate preventive and/or palliative measures.
6. Understand concepts and methods associated with quality management and customer satisfaction.
7. Manage changes in project requirements.
8. Manage configuration, being able to maintain proper version control.
9. Manage the budget of a project, making a good control of expenses.
10. Manage the Human Resources, allowing its participation in other projects.
The students must have developed the basic and general competences CB3, CG1, CG2, CG3, CG5, CG6, CG8, CG9, CG12. Students will also work on transversal competences, particularly in terms of analysis and synthesis, organisation and planning, oral and written communication, information management, problem solving and decision making, teamwork and motivation for quality.
As part of the Organisation and Management module in the subject, basic training skills are also developed: FB5, FB6; IT-related skills: RI1, RI2, RI3, RI8 and RI16; and IT-related skills TI1, TI2 and TI5. In addition to these, the subject also covers the last of the competencies in the module, namely: Understanding how an integrated IT project is developed within the business.
