Learning outcomes
|
The course of Creation and SW support of projects has two main objectives. The first one is to introduce basic methods to manage projects (graph theory, network analysis) and to analyse the multiple attribute decision making. The second is focus on the basic software for scheduling, controlling and managing of projects.
Students understand the basic mathematical methods using for scheduling, controlling and managing projects, they are able to use software MS Project.
