Project Organisation will explore the Portfolio, Program, and Project environment, and how communication is key to ensuring outcomes across all levels of an organisation. This will involve understanding the way that projects are selected and initiated, and how project outcomes are realised. Using a theoretical lens, the way organisations set up and manage their project environments will be explored, with the aim to evaluate the benefits and limitations in the way that decision frameworks, committees, and communication techniques are implemented. The aim for this course is to equip students with the skills required to manage the project organisations needed to produce quality outcomes.
