Courses include project management, organisational development, sustainability in software, and how teams collaborate in modern development environments. The specialisation combines technical understanding with insights from management, psychology, and organisational studies.

This pathway is particularly relevant for students interested in leadership, coordination, and strategic roles. It provides strong preparation for roles such as scrum master, agile coach or project manager, both within tech firms like Google and Meta, as well as organisations where software is more broadly integrated, like Ericsson and the Volvo group.
