Abstract

Project management increasingly shapes workplace communication, especially when technical communicators participate in cross-disciplinary development teams. This paper looks at the future of project management in technical communication and argues for a communicative approach to project management for technical communication students. The project management course in the International Bachelor Program of Marketing and Management Communication at the Aarhus School of Business is described, and the implications for technical communication curricula are discussed
