The course Telecommunication Project Management I (GTPT I), is a subject for the first semester of the second year of the Master in Telecommunication Engineering. The course consists of 5 ECTS, and is complemented by the course Telecommunication Project Management II (GTPT II), also with 5 ECTS.

This course is focused on providing students with a solid background on the design and development of engineering projects, including implementation and monitoring issues. In this context, concepts such as the project life-cycle will be defined, and students will be introduced to different aspects to be taken into account in the planning, implementation and management of a telecommunication engineering project.

At the beginning, the course will focus on project management fundamentals in engineering. More specific aspects on the legal and technical telecommunications framework will be covered along the course, providing a link to the contents of GTPT II (second part of this course).
