The object of this course is to give the participating students practical leadership experience in projects with the objective of development and management of IT systems with focus on complex Web Application Systems (WAS), in concern of modern object-oriented programming development and (either or both) development, configuration and implementation of runtime systems . The project work is method-based on the concept of RUP ( Rational Unified Process ).

Graduated students, who participate in this course, will act as project leaders in project groups with members of under graduated students with adequate technical skills.
Size of project team is about 6-12 members. The order of the project task might be an external company or institution. There are two tracks to be followed within this course. The first one is to theoretically learn and understand the project process in sense of phases, planning, metrics, artifacts, tools and so on. The second one is to put into practice those theories in a real project work with a real project group with a real task to complete.

Learning of project theory and practical project work is performed in parallel.
