The article undertook an analysis of the functional elements of project management based on the widely recognized Project Management Body of Knowledge guide and other relevant legal documents that delineate the educational process and the profession of software engineering bachelors.
The findings of the analysis substantiate the existence of numerous interconnections between the functions of project managers, the operational functions outlined in the professional standards, and the proficiencies expected of prospective software engineering bachelors.
Furthermore, the article identifies various functional components of project management, encompassing crucial aspects such as planning, resource management, project execution oversight, communication, risk management, and more. These components exhibit a direct correlation with the job functions stipulated in the professional standards, which demarcate the primary responsibilities and obligations of project managers.
Moreover, the analysis discloses that the skill set of future software engineering bachelors should encompass proficiency in project management, adeptness in project planning and execution, as well as effective teamwork, communication, and problem-solving abilities pertaining to project-related activities.
