| Modern IT project managers require a range of multi-disciplinary skill-sets in order to increase the like-lihood of |
| project success. Delivery of a single course unit, which attempts to prepare students for the rigours demanded from |
| this role, demands a delicate blend of topics from curricula administrators and a pedagogy that best suits its |
| environmental constraints. The Faculty of Information Technology of one university is using an integrated case |
| method approach in an attempt to link theoretical constructs of IT project management (ITPM) with a real-world, |
| practical implementation example. An analysis of stu-dent post-unit feedback indicates a variation in |
| understanding of what had been learnt, providing an op-portunity to advance the teaching model. |
