This subject belongs to the subject of 'Direction and Management' and aims to provide the student with the necessary training to face: i) computer managerial responsibilities related to project management, IT departments, and even IT companies, (ii) the managerial skills required to assume these responsibilities efficiently and effectively.

Firstly, it will afford aspects related to “Information Technologies Management and Governance”, an essential task in the professional development of computer engineers, linked to one of the main challenges that many of them will face throughout their working lives. This task encompasses the highest level of responsibilities in the professional activity of computer engineers, associated with to the role of Chief Information Officer (CIO). Thus, this t part addresses managerial aspects at the project, IT department and company levels. The use of good practices and techniques for taking IT decisions and for IT management will be studied; methods and techniques to facilitate their alignment with the objectives and strategies of the organization; and how to organize IT departments or IT companies.

With respect to the second part, it works on management skills that every project leader or manager must have: motivation, leadership, management of multidisciplinary work teams. It complements the student's training, for example, as a future CIO, project manager, etc. so that she can act as a liaison between the technical and the management communities of an organization. All this in the context of the Resolution of 8 June 2009 of the General Secretariat of Universities (BOE 04-08-2009), which includes the studies of Computer Science.
