In this program you will learn not only what an IT project is, but also its processes, success criteria and life cycles, among other concepts"

In the field of IT Project Management and Direction and Direction, certain processes have been agreed upon that are positive and necessary. However, the very nature of the work and the sector make it difficult to implement projects with the certainty of a positive outcome. Therefore, the program also includes examples of projects that did not end satisfactorily. As a form of feedback to avoid making the same mistakes.

We will start by defining IT Project Management and Direction, establishing success criteria, life cycles and proposing some practical applications. Afterwards, we will analyze the requirements of an IT project, observe business cases and go deeper into classic and Agile management.

Next, Lean IT and Kanban projects will be discussed, with their respective advantages and disadvantages, scorecards and applications. Several sections have also been reserved for risks, monitoring and control of IT projects. Analyzing concepts such as metrics and cost control.

Finally, the project office will be addressed, defining its types, functions and processes. In addition, TECH will offer a long list of software tools applicable to IT projects. For example, oriented to change, cost, risk or communication management.

All these contents will be offered in a 100% online modality, without timetables and with the entire syllabus available from the first moment. All you need is a device with Internet access. In this way, the student will be able to organize himself according to his time, thus enhancing learning.
