The artistic field has well developed modes of project management within the performative arts, film, music, design and architecture, but project management as a management task has not been professionalized in the same way as in business. Objective The objective of the course is to give the students an understanding of what traditional project management is and how this working mode can be adjusted to lead and manage interdisciplinary creative processes within design and in the art- and cultural field. An introduction to the most used perspectives and definitions within the field of project management will be highlighted, based upon the specific challenges art- and cultural projects raise. The course will apply a practical approach and give the students the necessary tools and experiences necessary to be professional project managers within creative fields by making students use the knowledge in an actual interdisciplinary and creative project .
