Creating an Educational Framework for Project Managers at a Software Company: a Sample Approach

Digital innovations and new technologies are transforming our lives, forcing all organisations, especially software engineering companies, to change their business processes. This rapid innovation and technology advancement positively affects project managers' and software engineers' learning and development, encouraging a new corporate, educational approach. In this study, the authors recognised how to keep up with this challenge and ensure the continuous improvement of employees' competencies, giving the company incredible opportunities to increase its performance and efficiency. The authors of this paper follow the research questions of improving project management education and developing digital skills needed for a sustainable and competitive business environment using e-learning platforms and digital communication channels. This paper presents an approach for designing and implementing a corporate, educational system that trains project managers and software engineers to collect and share acquired knowledge on client projects. Also, this system should reduce the onboarding of newly employed engineers to the company and project managers to new positions.
