Integrating real-world clients in a project management module.

Zarb, Mark; Young, Tiffany; Ballew, William

Abstract

Graduates in CS are required to have a background in project management, but often this is taught as a theoretical module, with little "real-world" relevance. In this poster abstract, a Project Management module has been redeveloped around the idea of having a real client interact with the class throughout the module, to positive comments from staff and students alike.
