Software Engineering Management Course

Acquiring software is a complex activity. From the operational point of view, software increasingly provides a major part of system functionality, so activities such as requirements definition, performance measurement and testing are of vital importance.

Engineering issues may include:

Implementation strategies
Reliability and safety critical software
Modeling techniques
Design implementation
Documentation

All these issues must be considered within a project management framework. Other activities such as contracting, software configuration management, in-service software maintenance and risk management also play a part in the successful completion of a software engineering project.

This course provides comprehensive insight into all these issues and activities, provides examples and techniques, and outlines the processes that can be used to ensure success. The course is supported by a case study, which provides the student with a “murder mystery” style investigation of a software-related accident, illustrating how the various aspects of software engineering management affect the quality, efficiency and safety of a project.
