IT Project Management: Mariam Chkholaria about the Course
In the era of technological transformation, companies are trying to keep up with modern trends and offer their customers digital products and services. IT project management helps them successfully implement new ideas or improve existing ones. This direction ensures the effective planning and execution of digital projects.
If you’re interested in the processes of creating and developing digital products, check out this blog. Mariam Chkholaria, our graduate, will share her impressions about the IT project management program.
Mariam had been interested in the IT project management course for a long time. She received a recommendation from her friend and developed a desire to study this field herself.
“I remember when I first learned about Agile methodology, I was excited, I liked its philosophy and wanted to be a part of it.
Changing fields isn’t such a simple matter, is it? I have a bachelor’s and master’s degree in business, I’ve been in marketing for six years, and suddenly hop into a completely new industry – it’s not an easy step. But I also remembered that modern people don’t find it difficult to change fields, they don’t dedicate themselves to a single profession and will be more easily maneuverable, will go through adaptation, give up experience accumulated in a specific direction and dive headfirst into a new business.
So I was interested in which profession in this field matched my skills and experience, and I started thinking, searching for information. Given that I was an account manager and my main strength was communication skills, I became interested in the role of IT project manager. I realized that these two professions have a lot in common, it seems that in both you need verbal and written communication skills, leadership, collaboration between teams, monitoring, ability to analyze results. There are probably many other commonalities, but this was enough to make a decision.”
"During the course, we used platforms and applications that still make it easier for me to solve everyday tasks."
IT Project Management: What Does the Course Cover?
Mariam’s expectations for the course were definitely met, and she gained an even more interesting experience during the course than she expected. In her opinion, this was due to the assignments to be completed after each lecture, which were closely related to the theoretical material covered. Through these exercises, students tested and refined their knowledge in practice. She says that this course was quite consistent and the knowledge accumulated here can already be used not only in the context of IT projects, but in any issue.
"I remember the first simulation project, where we all had different roles assigned. We conducted meetings so realistically and approached the simulation project so seriously, I think I already have work experience in this field."
The syllabus and the lecturer were also interesting. Mariam notes that you can read many things in books and other electronic sources, but the experience that the lecturer shared with students is invaluable. This knowledge only comes through the work process. It was also pleasant for Mariam to discover that the techniques and approaches learned during the course can be used to solve any issue, whether it’s measuring risks or making predictions.
Final Project
Students work on the final individual project at the end of the program, which is a kind of summary of the knowledge gained. Mariam notes that despite the rather voluminous task, the process of working on it turned out to be very pleasant. She devoted a lot of time to the project, worked continuously for hours, couldn’t get away from it, and at the same time, enjoyed the process greatly.
"I think I've already discovered a lot in this field and in myself. It's never too late to find a favorite job, a suitable industry and environment. And it's not a problem to leave it after we get bored. We live in a very diverse world with unlimited possibilities and we should never stop discovering ourselves from different perspectives."

Artificial Intelligence has become an integral part of the modern manager's role. Therefore, the better we understand what language to use and how to communicate with artificial intelligence, the easier it becomes to integrate it into our daily lives. Most importantly, artificial intelligence enables efficient time use and helps avoid routine tasks.
Throughout the lectures, we will study how to use popular AI systems such as ChatGPT, Claude.ai, and Gemini. Working on practical assignments and the final project will help us gain in-depth knowledge about using AI tools and 'taming' them to our needs.
