DMBA6005: Agile Project Development
2026 unit information
In today’s fast-paced digital economy, project management is a core capability for leading successful technology-driven strategies. This unit equips students with the tools and mindset to lead high-performing teams in complex, fast-changing environments shaped by disruptive innovation. Focusing on the realities of advanced digital projects, students explore modern methodologies including Agile, DevOps, and CI/CD, alongside key practices such as design thinking, SCRUM, stakeholder engagement, forecasting, and risk management. Interactive discussions, hands-on exercises, and collaborative projects enable students to refine their technical and planning capabilities. For example, with an immersive “shadow boxing” approach, students face real-world dilemmas, make critical decisions, and see the consequences unfold—building practical, strategic, and leadership skills. Designed for those aiming to become product managers, project leaders, product owners, or transformation agents, the unit blends interactive discussion, hands-on tasks, and collaborative projects. It emphasises delivering outstanding customer experience (CX) and service design (SD) within high-stakes digital environments. By the end of the unit, students are equipped to lead digital transformation initiatives, manage emerging technologies, and drive sustainable, meaningful innovation.
