We do not actually use a course book, but instead pick up resources from there and from there - but if you learn best by reading a proper book from A to Ö then I recommend (from Tritonia):
Heagney, J. (2012). Fundamentals of project management (4th ed.). Nev York: American Management Association.
And maybe:
(2013). A guide to the project management body of knowledge (PMBOK® guide) (5th ed.). Newtown Square, PA: Project Management Institute.
Kerzner, H. (2015). Project management 2.0: Leveraging tools, distributed collaboration, and metrics for project success. Hoboken, New Jersey: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Project-based learning, lectures, exercises, feedback-sessions and self-studies.
Team-project.
By performing project works and by participating in feedback sessions (with discussion) or self-development activities and excursion or guest lecture you collect points that lead to the final grade.
.
For participation in project work, the following points are awarded:
Failed = 0p (The work is obviously deficient, parts are left unfinished)
Accepted = 1p (A good work)
Excellent = 2p (Demands that you show significant initiative, creativity, enthusiasm)
.
For participation in a feedback-session (constructive, detailed feedback) = 1p
For completion of a self-development activity (serious, analytical) = 1p
For active participation in an excursion/guest lecture (discussing, writing) = 1p
.
Points Results
24->31 = 5
22->23 = 4
20->21 = 3
17->19 = 2
15->16 = 1

Kursen går att göra utan närvaro i klass - man gör projekten på egen hand och kan utföra självutvecklingsaktiviteter istället för feedbacktillfällen (se mer om dessa i Moodle).
One excursion or guest lecture during the course.
During the course, a Team project is made (a development project for an organization or company).
By performing weekly project works and by participating in feedback sessions (with discussion) or self-development activities and excursion or guest lecture you collect points that lead to the final grade.
The first return box closes automatically the evening before the week's lecture. The report submitted here is assessed and scored within one week. The second submission box will remain open until the course starts again next year (if you have no grade by then you start again from zero points). These "late" submissions are graded within one month.
Course grade within one week after the last project, or within one month after the last submission.
During the course, a Team project is made (a development project for an organization or company that is not usually chosen as a thesis work place for Industrial Management engineering students), worth 1 ECTS. If you do the obligatory smaller projects (Theory Presentation, Prototype and Feedback, Stakeholder feedback, Final presentation of the solution) you automatically get an Approved grade in the Team-project course part.
Time: See course calendar (in Peppi) for course schedule
