The summer course in Project Management will introduce the students in the science and art of project management. The students will learn about the principles of project management, the tools and the techniques that are part of every Project Manager’s tool kit and will apply this on case studies and an in-class group project to apply their knowledge on a real project. They will learn about the modern evolution of project management (like Agile).
Students will be asked to think about the sort of projects/industries that they would like to focus on. Skills taught will be applicable to all areas of Project Management, but students will have the opportunity to apply them to particular projects that they personally find interesting in the activity and discussion sections each day. Each day, time will be dedicated to working on individual projects and final assessments.
An essential part of the course will be guest speakers sharing their experience with managing their Projects. They will be talking about the tools, methodologies, and approaches used to make the Project a successful one.
Introduction to the course – Introduction to Project Management, Identifying characteristics of a project, Identifying a Project Manager + Activities: How we define Project Management, Project Manager skills, Identifying projects that interest us.

Identifying and prioritizing stakeholders, Stakeholder communications, Project scope, Scope creep + Activities: Stakeholder mapping, Comms and PR planning
Project Scheduling + Activities: In advance, students will be asked to identify a scheduling tool/app and to familiarize themselves with them. Class time will be used to present back to one another what has been found and an introduction on how to use the tools/apps that have been identified. This is reflective of industry- not everyone will have access to the same software/programs etc, so this is a useful way of diversifying knowledge about what is available to PMs.

Really cool experience. Visited two SummerSchools this summer and this one was by far the better one. Beside some really cool courses the two weeks are filled with leisure activities, which ensure that there is no stodgy minute. You get some views of prag, that a normal tourist wouldn't get so fast. Furthermore, you will meet new people from all over the world, which will make it an unforgettable trip for you. 10/10 ??

I enjoyed time in Prague very much, the city is splendid, people were awesome. Even though I am not a party guy, the program offered me a lot of sightseeing, city tours, I visited museums, parks and everything possible. Two weeks is ideal time for getting to know new people, making new friendships, to learn something and enjoy city. I would recommend joining ESS for everyone.

The ESS was one of the best experiences I've ever had. The organizers were amazing and I had the opportunity to meet some exceptional people from all around the world. There was a perfect balance between lectures and activities. I was never bored for a second. I highly recommend ESS if you want to gain some new skills, whilst forming new friendships and exploring one of the most charming cities! ?♥️
