Introduction au module
This course provides students with a structured approach to information system project management. It covers the main stages of a project lifecycle, from project definition, scoping and stakeholder analysis to planning, risk management, team coordination, governance, quality management, change management and project closure. Through case studies, group-based situations and practical work on MS Project, students learn how to structure, plan, monitor and evaluate projects in complex organisational environments.

Objectifs d'apprentissage du cours
By the end of this PGE M2 course, students will be able to:
Define the scope, objectives, deliverables, constraints and stakeholders of an information system project in a structured project framework.
Analyse project expectations and requirements by using appropriate methods such as interviews, workshops, observation and requirements repositories.
Build and interpret project planning tools, including task breakdowns, milestones, responsibilities, Gantt charts and resource allocation plans.
Apply project risk management methods by identifying risks, assessing their severity and probability, and proposing appropriate countermeasures.
Use project management tools, including MS Project, to plan, monitor and communicate project progress.
Analyse the human and organisational challenges of project management, including stakeholder engagement, role clarification, resource conflicts and resistance to change.
Evaluate project governance, quality management and reporting mechanisms in order to support decision-making and project control.
Capitalise on project experience by analysing lessons learned, project closure practices and continuous improvement opportunities.

Méthode pédagogique
The course combines lectures, case studies and group-based practical situations. Lectures introduce the main concepts, tools and methods of information system project management. Case studies allow students to analyse real project situations and identify appropriate managerial responses. Group-based simulations and applied exercises help students practise project scoping, stakeholder analysis, planning, risk management and change management. Practical work on MS Project enables students to apply project planning and monitoring techniques using a professional project management tool.
Système de notation et modalités de rattrapage
Assessment is on a scale from 0 to 20. A mark of 0 results in failure.
The assessment evaluates students’ ability to structure, plan, analyse and manage information system projects in organisational settings. It measures their capacity to apply project management methods, use planning tools, analyse stakeholder and organisational issues, capitalise on project experience and communicate project findings through written and oral formats.
Students will conduct, in pairs, a company-based survey on the capitalisation of experience in relation to projects. This work will lead to a written report and an oral presentation of the survey.
Each student’s final mark is the weighted average of four assessments:
Participation: 10% of the final grade.
Practical work on MS Project: 20% of the final grade.
Tests: 30% of the final grade.
Interview and report: 40% of the final grade.
Unexcused absences will result in a 20% deduction from the module mark.
The second-chance assessment, CF2, requires students to complete an individual study.
Règlement du module
1. Professor–Student Communication
The professor will communicate with students through their institutional school email address (IMT-BS/TSP) and/or the Moodle portal. No communication will be sent to personal email addresses. Students are responsible for regularly checking their IMT-BS/TSP mailbox and Moodle announcements.
Students may contact the professor by email using the professor’s institutional email address. When necessary, students may meet the professor during office hours or by appointment.

A warning may be given for a first violation. Repeated violations may lead to penalties, exclusion from the class and/or disciplinary proceedings.
A delay of up to 10 minutes is tolerated at the beginning of class. Attendance will be recorded on Edusign during this 10-minute period using a QR code provided by the professor at the start of each session.
Leaving the classroom before the end of the session without the professor’s approval will be considered an absence.
In the case of remote learning, students must keep their camera on unless instructed otherwise by the professor.

a non-programmable calculator, or a programmable calculator with activated EXAM mode.
All other items are prohibited.
Possession of any unauthorised electronic device, even if turned off, will be considered cheating.
Possession of a programmable calculator without activated EXAM mode, even if turned off, will be considered cheating.
A random check may be carried out after students are instructed to activate EXAM mode. Failure to prove that EXAM mode has been activated after this instruction will be considered cheating.
