Introducción a la Ingeniería del Software
Master IT project development phases and management activities essential for completing software projects successfully, on time and within budget constraints.
Master IT project development phases and management activities essential for completing software projects successfully, on time and within budget constraints.
This comprehensive course introduces students to the fundamentals of Software Engineering, focusing on the methods, techniques, and procedures required to successfully complete software projects while meeting time, resource, and cost requirements. The curriculum explores why this discipline is essential in technological environments and why many IT projects fail to meet deadlines, budgets, or quality standards. Students will learn about the unique characteristics of software engineering compared to other engineering disciplines and understand why specific procedures and techniques are necessary for software development and management. The course covers the project lifecycle and the importance of defining phases and their sequence during development. Participants will learn to differentiate between popular agile methodologies (SCRUM, XP, KANBAN) and traditional approaches (waterfall, iterative, incremental), understanding when to apply each based on project needs and characteristics. All phases of a software project are examined in detail, from planning to implementation. By the end of the course, students will have acquired the knowledge and tools necessary to develop and manage projects effectively, enabling them and their teams to be more productive, deliver higher quality work, and maintain a better work environment.

Module Description
This introductory course provides a comprehensive overview of Software Engineering fundamentals. It addresses the essential question of what Software Engineering is and why it's crucial in technological environments, particularly when considering the high rate of IT projects that fail to meet time, cost, or quality requirements. The curriculum explores the methods, techniques, and procedures needed to successfully complete software projects. Students learn about the characteristics that differentiate software engineering from other engineering disciplines and why specific approaches are necessary for effective software development and management. The course covers the complete project lifecycle, emphasizing the importance of properly defining and sequencing development phases. Participants gain knowledge about various development methodologies, learning to distinguish between agile approaches (such as SCRUM, XP, and KANBAN) and traditional methodologies (waterfall, iterative, incremental), and understanding when each is most appropriate based on project requirements. The curriculum examines all project phases in detail, from initial planning through implementation. Through this comprehensive approach, students acquire the knowledge and tools necessary to develop and manage projects effectively, enabling more productive teams, higher quality deliverables, and improved work environments.
