Topic : Feasibility Study and Requirements Specification for Selecting a Project and Portfolio Management Tool
The objective is to conduct a feasibility study for the introduction of a suitable PPM tool. A complete requirements specification will be prepared on the basis of a systematic requirements analysis. Building on this work, the student will develop a transparent approach for screening the market and evaluating potential solutions and, if the available timeframe permits, apply parts of the approach in practice.
