# data[].attributes.body
DMU is in an exciting time in its development with the construction of new buildings and facilities and IT support etc. To support its Project management staff, the university has set up a project management network that meets on a regular basis. MSc Project Management students are encouraged to attend network sessions to hear about current developments in project management and network with DMU staff. It is expected that links will help students to identify a dissertation topic that will help both students and the university

# data[].attributes.body
DMU has strong links with Hong Kong, New York City and Berlin. Current projects in these cities include a, b, c d. We are exploring the potential for MSc Project Management Students to undertake a visit. Within the visit the student group will be able to spend one day with a project team....

The MSc in Project Management has links with DMU local initiative and there may be the opportunity for MSc students to work with a developing or existing project to learn skills on the ground.

# data[].attributes.body
From autumn 2018 MSc Project Management students will undertake a site visit (usually one day or half a day)to a live project. These will vary from a visit to an ongoing DMU project to a visit to a local company or public organisation.

In the weekly lectures groups of students may, as part of the summative assessment, give a presentation on a PM methodology e.g. CPA, PERT, WBS, GANNT. (Even if nor part of the assessment will get them to learn and go into depth)

At the moment summative (groupwork  etc). Rethink whether some formative assessment points needed?

Students think that PM is about learning a process to apply. We need to make sure they get some of this. However, we are also training them to be critical and understand the role of power in projects (e.g. Flyvjberg) and that it PM is also political and not just about applying normative tools in a scientific way. Boris Johnson's Garden Bridge project is an example of a political vanity project, for example.

Notoriously weak in PM teaching so we need to build up our own repository of cases studies (to weave throughout our teaching, to provide handouts for seminars, to inform Project A etc

# data[].attributes.body
Agile, SCRUM and Prince 2 training needs to be increased e.g. at least 1 hour each but perhaps even a dedicated lecture on each of these (e.g. if one was on Prince 2 we could ask Fred to do the lecture that day and the seminars afterwards)
