Management and development of projects in digitalization and digital transformation strategies
Management and development of projects in digitalization and digital transformation strategies
Overview
This micro-credential aims to train students in the analysis, design and development of digitization and digital transformation projects applicable to real professional contexts.
The program combines conceptual foundations with a practical approach based on the development of an applied project, enabling participants to understand digital transformation and translate it into concrete proposals for organizational improvement. Throughout the course, students will work with agile methodologies such as Design Thinking, Scrum, and Kanban, integrating them into the design and development of solutions aimed at improving the efficiency, competitiveness, and adaptability of organizations.
General objective
To train students to analyze, design and structure innovation and digital transformation projects, applying a systemic vision and agile methodologies, in order to generate viable and transferable solutions to real professional contexts.
Specific objectives
Analyze the fundamentals of digital transformation and its impact on organizations.
Identify needs, problems, and opportunities for improvement through a systemic vision.
Formulate innovation proposals focused on people and processes.
Apply agile methodologies (Design Thinking, Scrum, and Kanban) to the design and development of projects. Design digitization and digital transformation proposals applicable to real-world contexts.
A university degree is not required, but the following requirements must be met:
- Be between 25 and 64 years old on the date the training begins.
- To hold an official Spanish Baccalaureate degree or equivalent professional certificate, or other equivalent qualification issued by an institution of a Member State of the European Education Area.
- Individuals with a degree from an educational system outside the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) may also be admitted, even without official recognition or equivalence. In these cases, the academic director will submit a report to the Academic Committee, which will authorize or deny admission. This authorization does not imply official recognition of the foreign degree or its validation for any other purpose.
- Have a National Identity Document or equivalent document that proves residence permit in Spain, at least during the period in which the microcredential is developed.
- Admission will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis until the maximum number of places is reached. If places remain vacant after the pre-registration period, the micro-credential management may open an extraordinary pre-registration period, setting a deadline as it deems appropriate. Priority will be given to students who have completed the following micro-credentials: Fundamentals of Digitalization and Digital Transformation, Emerging Technologies and Digital Business Models for Logistics and Transport, Smart Mobility and Connectivity in Transport and Logistics, and/or Transport and Logistics 4.0.
Academic program
| The microcredential is structured in three progressive blocks that guide students from understanding digital change to developing an applied project: 1. Fundamentals of digital transformation Key concepts: digitization, digitalization and digital transformation; Integrated vision of digital change; Organizational diagnosis and context analysis; Industry 4.0 and Logistics 4.0; Enabling technologies for digitization 2. Innovation project design Identifying needs and problems; Formulating objectives and value proposition; Defining scope, resources, and planning; Developing innovation projects; Designing digital transformation plans 3. Agile methodologies applied to digital projects Principles of Agile Methodologies: Design Thinking applied to innovation; Scrum: iterative project management; Kanban: organization and visualization of work |
The course is delivered virtually through the Moodle classroom and is structured around an integrative project, which acts as the central focus of learning.
An approach based on the following is adopted:
- Project-based learning (PBL)
- Progressive and guided learning (scaffolding)
- Active and applied learning
- Formative and continuous assessment
Students progressively develop a proposal for digitization or digital transformation structured in three phases:
- Phase 1: Analysis and diagnosis of the context
- Phase 2: Project design
- Phase 3: Development using agile methodologies
This approach allows connecting theory and practice, facilitating transfer to the professional environment.
