Formelle forudsætninger:You should have knowledge comparable to passing the course in software development, systems development I and/or IT project management at the IT University. Comparable knowledge you would have gained e.g. by managing a small or medium size project or by working as a software engineer for some time.
 
Læringsmål:The goal of the course is to provide deepened knowledge on central themes of current interest in the area of software engineering. The concrete contents of the course is is chosen to represent both topics currently discussed in practice and hot topics in research. Besides giving additional insight into software engineering as a disciplin, the course introduces research methods and techniques.

Thus, after having read the course you should be able to:
1- Search for, find and discuss state-of-the-art literature, conference papers and journal articles in systems development, software engineering and project management, for the relevant areas,
2- Formulate a research question based on existing research literature within software engineering and project management on a level that needed for a Master Thesis (Speciale) and
3- Outline how such a research question could be answered within software engineering and project management. That also means to draft the research methodology that would be adequate to answer the question.
 
Fagligt indhold:The final selection of topics for the course will take place in coordination with the students participating in the course.
The contents of the course could e.g. include:
- Flexible software development methods like eXtreme programming, and agile development
- Software process improvement, maturity models and software quality.
- Use-oriented software development
- Design in use: how does the software and the organisation interact when introducing a new system.
- Introduction of IT systems in organisations.
- Software evolution and the deployment of end-user tailorable systems
- End User Development
- Productification of software, design and development of software products
- Knowledge management in Software Engineering
- Off-shore outsourcing


The course might contain additional topics chosen by the students themselves.  
Læringsaktiviteter:14 ugers undervisning bestående af forelæsninger og øvelser

The tuition will take place combining lectures, home work, group discussions and other didactical methods. The course partly builds on the students reading and presenting research articles. It will also address research skill, e.g. how to search for, find, and read state-of-the-art articles, as well as trying out techniques within the topics choosen for the course.
