Contents and objectives of this course
Project structure and role allocation
- You will learn how to divide your tasks sensibly, with a clear understanding of roles, responsibilities and schedules.
- Methods such as task and milestone planning (WBS, Gantt charts) are central to this.
Communication, teamwork & error management
- Open communication, a constructive approach to mistakes and targeted moderation of team meetings anchor sustainable learning in everyday life.
- Interactive exercises and reflection methods demonstrably promote your social skills.
Analysis & evaluation during the course of the project
- You collect, analyse and evaluate information in a structured manner, with stakeholder analyses, risk assessments and lessons learned reflections.
- Continuous evaluation ensures quality, learning progress and adaptability.
Project completion with appreciation
- At the end, you reflect together, acknowledge contributions, recognise learning successes and document the project in a sustainable manner, both personally and collectively.
Course structure
- Hybrid learning programme: The course combines online learning phases in Moodle (videos, simulations, quizzes, reflection tasks) with optional face-to-face formats.
- Workshops & coaching: You can book additional workshops and team coaching sessions (e.g. 2 × 1.5 hours per project group) via appointments in the Moodle course to train your project management skills in a targeted manner.
- Flexibility: The online content is accessible at any time; the optional face-to-face sessions deepen practical application and offer individual feedback.
