Introduction to the module
Information systems play a vital role in organisational efficiency. A substantial portion of the investment budget of businesses of all sizes is now devoted to improving existing applications, creating new ‘digital’ features, and protecting the application infrastructure and production tools from external threats.
Leading a project to design and develop an information system is a delicate undertaking. Whilst every project involves a degree of uncertainty, the nature of an information system increases the risks. Projects involve multiple stakeholders and contribute to the evolution of the company’s organisation.
An analysis of the difficulties encountered in practice highlights the need for robust project management. Effective control of deadlines, costs and quality requires the implementation of techniques, principles and mechanisms specific to this type of project. The human and relational aspects must also be taken into account, as they play a significant role in the productivity of the project team.

Evaluation and grading system and catch up exams
Assessment is on a scale of 0 to 20. A mark of 0 results in failure.
A pair-based survey in a company setting on the capitalisation of experience in relation to projects, with a written report to be submitted and an oral presentation of the survey.
Each student’s mark will be the weighted average of four assessments:
- Participation (10%)
- Practical work on MS Project (20%);
- Tests (30%)
- Interview + report (40%)
Unexcused absences will result in a 20% deduction from the module mark.
CF2: Students sitting the resit will be required to complete an individual study
Module Policies
Professor-Student Communication
● The professor will contact the students through their school email address (IMT-BS/TSP) and the Moodle portal. No communication via personal email addresses will take place. It is the student responsibility to regularly check their IMT-BS/TSP mailbox.
● Students can communicate with the professor by emailing him/her to his institutional address. If necessary, it is possible to meet the professor in his office during office-hours or by appointment.
Students with accommodation needs
If a student has a disability that will prevent from completing the described work or require any kind of accommodation, he may inform the program director (with supporting documents) as soon as possible. Also, students are encouraged to discuss it with the professor.
Class behavior
● Out of courtesy for the professor and classmates, all mobile phones, electronic games or other devices that generate sound should be turned off during class.
● Students should avoid disruptive and disrespectful behavior such as: arriving late, leaving early, careless behavior (e.g. sleeping, reading a non-course material, using vulgar language, over-speaking, eating, drinking, etc.). A warning may be given on the first infraction of these rules. Repeated violators will be penalized and may face expulsion from the class and/or other disciplinary proceedings.
● The tolerated delay is 5 minutes. Attendance will be declared on Moodle during these 5 minutes via a QR code provided by the teacher at each course start.
● Student should arrive on time for exams and other assessments. No one will be allowed to enter the classroom once the first person has finished the exam and left the room.
