Module contents	The rapidly increasing economic and time-related requirements are forcing organizations to question their previous approaches and establish new, faster methods in the development of products. While in the past the waterfall model defined projects over the entire project period, today short-cycle iterations are used. One of the most important skills is communication with stakeholders and focusing on key problems. However, it is no longer enough for project progress to be shown as a slide presentation; instead, new interactive forms of presentation are becoming popular in companies. The course focusses on: Target group-oriented stakeholder communication Using time efficient approaches to solving problems as well as focusing on key requirements How to deal with resource restrictions.
