It challenges you to use knowledge and skills developed throughout your degree to address a 'real world' problem for a client organisation. You will work in groups on a research report for an industry client, responding to a brief developed with the client. Student groups will self-manage with industry project management software, and will address their teamwork progress week-to-week using agile process frameworks.
