| | | | |
| − | This course replaces "42246 - Project Management 2.0: Design, Innovation and Production" for all study lines (last taught in Fall 2013 term). We re-focused the course content and title to also explicitly address program and portfolio-level challenges, and fine-tuned some of the content. The overall objective of the class, however, remains the same. You can find an outline of the course content in Kursusbasen.

| − | As this is a 10 ECTS course, there will be a '''significant portion of group work''' (analysing a real-life case together with a partner organization), as well as an '''individual assignment''', in addition to the classroom lectures. The expectation with a 10 ECTS course is that '''you will spend 1 day per week on coursework, in addition to attending the class Tuesdays and Fridays'''.
| |
| | | | |
| − | '''Weeks 1-4''' will be devoted to the '''individual assignment''', which will focus on writing a Wiki-style article outlining either a project, program or portfolio management method (or concept or theory) or documenting a relevant case. The articles are expected to adhere to academic standards of rigor, clarity and referencing.

| | | | |
| − | In the '''group assignment in weeks 5-13''', you will be working together with a partner organization to analyze a particular project, program or portfolio management challenge. You will either provide detailed analytics to characterize the challenge, or develop recommendations for solutions. The groups have to identify their own partner organization - for example a company, NGO or government agency - that they will be working with. '''This will be done in parallel to the individual assignment in weeks 1-4'''. The results will be presented to the class and judged in week 13.

| − | The individual assignment consists of writing a Wiki-style article outlining either a project, program or portfolio management tool, concept or theory or documenting a relevant case.
| + | |
| − | The articles will become part of a DTU-Wiki on Advanced Project, Program and Portfolio Management and will serve as a resource to practitioners in industry and government, as well as future students. The best articles will be considered for publication in a handbook on the ISO 21900 Standard on Project Management.

| − | | + | |
| − | The primary objective is that the article is relevant to project, program or portfolio management practitioners and can contribute to a growing body of knowledge in the area. All articles should be concise, sharp, insightful, academically sound and relevant to practitioners, and target a length of approximately 3,000 words, excluding annotated bibliography (see below).
| + | |
| − | You can choose to work on one of two types of articles:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Article Type 1: Explanation and Illustration of a Method ==
| + | |
| − | The focus of a “method article” is on outlining a relevant project, program or portfolio management method (or concept, theory or tool). Examples are:
| + | |
| − | * Classic project, program or portfolio management methods, such as: Gantt Charts, Work Breakdown Structures, portfolio graphs, risk management, cost and schedule estimation methods, Key Performance Indicators, stakeholder matrices
| + | |
| − | * Key theories relevant to the management of projects, programs or portfolios, such as: theory of constraint, cognitive and decision making biases, communication theory, project management competencies, critical chain theory, or stages of team development.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The articles are expected to adhere to the following structure:
| + | |
| − | * ''Big idea'': describe the tool, concept or theory and explain its purpose. The section should reflect the current state of the art on the topic
| + | |
| − | * ''Application'': provide guidance on how to use the tool, concept or theory and when it is applicable
| + | |
| − | * ''Limitations'': critically reflect on the tool/concept/theory. When possible, substantiate your claims with literature | + | |
| − | * ''Annotated bibliography'': Provide key references (3-10), where a reader can find additional information on the subject. Summarize and outline the relevance of each reference to the topic. (around 100 words per reference). The bibliography is not counted in the suggested 3000 word target length of the article.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Article Type 2: Description of a Relevant Case Study ==
| + | |
| − | The focus of this type of article is to tell the story of a specific project, program or portfolio. The description should not just be a general overview, but focus on an exciting, unusual or innovative aspect. Examples include new forms of collaboration, a specific method or practice that worked particularly well, an insightful stakeholder engagement, particular high level of performance etc.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The article should adhere to the following structure:
| + | |
| − | * ''Context'': briefly describe the case and why it is insightful
| + | |
| − | * ''Challenge'': explain the particular problem faced by the project, program or portfolio which led to
| + | |
| − | the innovation.
| + | |
| − | * ''Solution'': describe the innovative practice and why it was perceived to work
| + | |
| − | * ''Implication'': Critical reflection on the case and its potential contribution to project, program and portfolio (e.g. when could it be used by others? Does it make us rethink any of the key concepts or common practices in project, program and portfolio? How?). When possible, substantiate your claims with literature
| + | |
| − | * ''Annotated bibliography'': Provide key references (3-10), where a reader can find additional information on the subject. Summarize and outline the relevance of each reference to the topic. (around 100 words per reference). The bibliography is not counted in the suggested 3000 word target length of the article.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Evaluation of Wiki Articles==
| + | |
| − | The quality criteria used to evaluate the articles are:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Clarity of writing: Is the writing free of grammatical and spelling errors? Is the language precise without unnecessary fill words?
| + | |
| − | * Clarity of the argument: Is there a logical flow to the article? Does one part build upon the other? Is the article consistent in its argument and free of contradictions?
| + | |
| − | * Is the article of high practical and / or academic relevance?
| + | |
| − | * Does the article properly cite and acknowledge previous work? Is it based on empirical data instead of opinion?
| + | |
| − | * Is the article properly linked within the Wiki to other relevant articles and category summaries?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The process for developing the article is outlined in Figure 1: Process for Individual Assignment. There are a number of deliverables for the individual assignment (see class schedule for timing):
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Abstract of the proposed article
| + | |
| − | * Version 1 of article for peer review
| + | |
| − | * 2-3 peer reviews of articles written by others
| + | |
| − | * Version 2 of article incorporating peer review received for own article
| + | |
| − | * Response to peer reviewers outlining how comments were addressed
| + | |
| − | * Evaluation of quality of peer review feedback, as well as evaluation of quality of “Version 2” of the articles you reviewed.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Link to Previous Articles==

Welcome to our wiki for doing projects - an online resource for managing projects, programs, and portfolios.
This wiki is a result of the Technical University of Denmark's ProjectLab effort to provide Project Management education and enable access for everyone.The articles are solely student's result*, as they are required to develop an article about an aspect from the course
Advanced Project Program & Portfolio Management, at DTU.
You can access the wiki either as an Author (e.g. students at 42433) or User (e.g. students at 42429/42430)
