As a final year Software
Engineering under graduate the key concept and practices of project management
is studied, researched and successfully applied in various projects during the
course of study. The definitions for project management and the importance of
it, project management triangle (Time, Cost, Quality) and the skills required
for a successful project manager and his role are gathered in prior modules. Moreover
the major characteristics of a project and the activities involved in project
management are understood and the knowledge gained is used practically in various
assignments and projects in last two years.
Starting my career as a
software engineer I am expecting to become a project manager in a top IT firm
in Sri Lanka in another three years; hence gaining an in-depth knowledge in
project management is vital for my professional career. I consider Project Management module in final year of my degree program as a great opportunity for
me to build up the skills acquired to become a successful project manager and to
learn more techniques in project management knowledge areas. The ability to
select the most suitable techniques for a certain problem context is another
ability that I am expecting to develop at the end of this module.
