Contents:

The success of a software product depends on skilled and competent software product management (SPM). In essence, a product manager decides what functionality and quality a product should offer, to which customers, and when in time, while assuring a winning business case. Sometimes a product manager is referred to as the 'mini-CEO' of an organization.

The course is built around three pillars: SPM theory, SPM research and SPM consultancy. At the end of this course, the student has the knowledge and skills to a) carry out SPM activities in a software company, b) perform a scientific research in the SPM domain, and c) assess, analyze and give advice about a company's SPM processes.

Literature:

Literature consists of a number of selected scientific papers.

Course form:

In the course, students will attend three lectures a week. In the first lecture of the week, competences in requirements management, release planning, product planning and portfolio management are covered. The other lecture has a seminar form, which will mainly be filled by student presentations. In addition, students can attend a workshop in which they can be coached in their assignments.

Exam form:

The grade of the course is a weighted average of three elements: a research paper, a consultancy report, and an exam. In order to pass the course, each element has to be graded with a 5.5 or higher.
