The goal of this course is to teach students how to manage non-trivial IS development using systematical and disciplined approaches. Within the course the students will learn both, traditional and modern approaches and principles of IS development.
General competencies:
Ability of critical thinking,
Developing skills in critical, analytical and synthetic thinking,
The ability to define, understand and solve creative professional challenges in computer and information science,
The ability to apply acquired knowledge in independent work for solving technical and scientific problems in computer and information science, the ability to upgrade acquired knowledge,
The ability of teamwork within the professional environment, management of a small professional team.
Specific competencies:
The ability to independently perform both less demanding and complex engineering and organisational tasks in certain narrow areas and independently solve specific well-defined tasks in computer and information science.
Basic skills in computer and information science, allowing the continuation of studies in the second study cycle.studies in the second study cycle.

Knowledge and understanding:
Approaches to IS development, Structured techniques, Modern, socio-oriented techniques of IS development, Key problems and success factors in IS development.
Application:
Selection and use different techniques in collaborative IS development, Management of IS development.
