Strategic Project Management and Business Alignment

Description

This course equips learners with highly specialised and advanced knowledge of strategic project management, with a critical focus on aligning projects with organisational goals and enterprise value creation. Students will critically evaluate and independently apply advanced portfolio and programme management frameworks to assess organisational project maturity and design governance systems such as Project Management Offices (PMOs), that enable enterprise-wide delivery. Learners will demonstrate mastery of financial principles, including revenue and margin recognition, financial forecasting, and performance measurement, and applying these within strategic decision-making contexts. Emphasis is placed on the development of robust, evidence-based business cases, benefits realisation plans, and project charters that reflect both organisational strategy and stakeholder expectations. Through independent inquiry and critical engagement with complex, real-world scenarios, students will lead the strategic design and oversight of project initiatives, demonstrating autonomy, ethical reasoning, and reflective practice. Learners will be expected to exercise leadership within their professional domain, applying strategic tools and frameworks to deliver sustainable and measurable organisational value.
