To be successful, IT graduates need to understand the use of industry tools and practices, the ways these tools work and connect together, and the underlying employability skills needed for successful practice as an IT professional. This unit introduces students to IT workflows, agile project management, dev-ops pipelines, version control, and the ways these tools fit together in modern companies. The use of these technologies is underpinned by the professional behaviours, teamwork and ethical considerations needed to engage in working in IT in a professional manner to enhance the employability skills.
