Fagligt indhold:The overall aim of this course is to enable students to understand and participate in IT development cycles. The development of IT systems is a complex development life-cycle, and engages various interconnected phases and actors (e.g., IT managers, software developers, designers, business analysts, users, project managers etc.). The successful implementation of each phase within the development cycle and the right engagement of actors lead to overall IT development success.

The course will cover and deal with each phase in the IT development cycle individually. The cycle will be broken down into themes: initiation, system concept development, planning, requirements analysis, design, code-based development, integration and test, implementation, operation and maintenance, and disposition. The course is organized around discussions of these themes and offers theoretical and practical knowledge base. The course will examine all aspects of these themes and will concentrate on well-established and developed ones. The main objective here is to let students walkthrough all phases, enable them to actively take part in the entire IT development cycle and plays different roles. 
Læringsaktiviteter:

Lectures: each lecture will include oral presentation that intends to present and cover a particular theme of the Foundations in Development of IT course. These lectures will be supplied with discussions that actively involve students. Students are required to read the selected material and literature in advance and be able to reflect on during the lectures (e.g., book chapters, scientific articles, white papers, case studies, etc.).

Exercises: lectures will be combined with exercise sessions that run by the main teacher and/or teaching assistants. During these sessions, students are expected to carry on various theoretical and practical tasks, and further on present their work and results. There will be three different types of tasks: individual, group-based and final project. 

Obligatoriske aktivititer:During the course students will be required to hand in four mandatory assignments (carried out during the Exercises sessions). Failure to hand in the mandatory assignments on time will mean that the registration for examination is annulled.
