If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Illustration of Project management activities

Let’s look at an example of a new-technology project. It is the Nuna-8, a solar powered race car. The car is developed and built by students from Delft University of Technology and won the competition in 2015. Yes; there is a lot of innovation involved in this project, bringing specific risks as well as opportunities. But in the end: the car should be ready for the race!

Below you can see the story of the race: the successful delivery of this project. What management activities can you recognize in the video, enabling the project to be successfully delivered?
