SDM resembles the phase in an IT career in which the project leader takes responsibility for the management of a software development project. Within SDM we address the project management aspects of the whole life cycle of an agile system development project: requirements management, system design, development and system implementation, including continuous integration, delivery of the system and communication with a real customer.
The course consists of a theoretical and a practical component. The theoretical component offers concepts, methods and tools for modern software development. This theory is applied in the practical component which is being carried out within "GiP-House", managing students from the "Software Engineering" course.
GiP-House closely resembles a real-life modern software house in which the students of this course perform roles as: Project manager, Quality manager, Contract Owner, Public Relations Manager, Director. These roles can be adjusted depending on the specific situation of a given semester (e.g. number of students). All students work, within the management structure of GiP-House, under the supervision of the student Director(s), with the aim to create an effective and efficient software house management structure.
