Applying the PM approach to the academic context, building a thesis projects management framework. The back-end development perspective.

Project management refers to the application of methods, tools, techniques and skills to a project carried out through processes aligned in a systemic vision. It includes the integration of the various stages of the project life cycle, each stage should have specific results that should be regularly reviewed to meet the requirements of the sponsors, customers and other interested parties. The topic of this thesis aims to apply this approach to the academic context, to facilitate the management of projects and elaborates, which see students as protagonists, through the use of management software, such as the PLM system. In the field of information systems, the Product Life-Cycle Management, commonly called PLM, allows you to manage the life of a product, in our case a project, keeping track of the components, tasks and resources useful for its realization. In fact, in the business environment, PLM software can be seen both as an IT strategy and as a corporate strategy. The software at the center of this study and which will be used first in its standard form and then customized to make the user experience easier, is Odoo. The core of this research focuses mainly on the nature of the project data from a “back-end” point of view.
