The students will also get knowledge about how to estimate the cost and time for a software projects, as well as knowledge about methods for planning and follow-up of software projects. The students will also have knowledge about organisation of development projects.

Skills:
The students will be able to lead small projects and participate as designer/programmer in larger software projects.

General competence:
Students will obtain competaence about software development and which solutions technically and organisatory should be selected in a specific situation.

Learning methods and activities

All students must participate in the compulsory development project - "Fellesprosjektet" - before the final exam. The project is a co-operation between TTM4100, TDT4140, TDT4180 and TDT4145.
