C04223v1 Master of Software Engineering Management

Overview

This course shows how to successfully manage a software development project in a systematic and professional manner. It covers the elements of software engineering and how the technology and the project team can be used to deliver on time, to budget and within specification. The eight subjects in the degree are designed as an integrated group to meet these objectives.
