Abstract
These days, IT project managers have to pay attention to legal risks which affect the project promotion. Hence, the legal knowledge related to IT project promotion is needed for the project managers, and also legal education courses are required to get such legal knowledge. Regarding existing legal education courses, these courses are mostly developed by legal experts. Therefore law itself is explained without a IT project manager's perspective in those courses. IT project managers can not easily understand the legal risks of IT project by those legal education courses. I (not legal expert) have developed the legal education course with which IT project managers are familiar, based upon IT project manager's perspective. In this paper, the objectives, results and advantages of that legal education course are described.
