Project Management Simulation
The Project Management Simulation is an action learning activity, typically engaged with as a team exercise. The purpose of the simulation is to develop knowledge and skills that ultimately improve real-life performance and decision making in project management. Participants are confronted with scenarios and challenges common to real-world projects. A simulation focused on project management training allows learners to witness the consequences of their decisions almost immediately. Because they can track the evolution of project delivery and cost KPIs as well as HR related performance indicators, the learning is immediate and applicable. This simulation provides an opportunity for learners to manage projects in a risk-free environment.
Our off-the-shelf Project Management Simulation provides an engaging learning experience and is ready to deploy with minimal effort. All IndustryMasters business simulations are available as competitive multi-player real-time events and as self-guided, single-player versions.
The Project Management Simulation can be tailored quickly to adjust the story-line, KPIs, critical decisions and relevant lessons to your project management training requirements. When only a custom solution will do, we have the experience and technology to build completely unique project management simulations. We work with you to ensure we have exactly the decisions and outcomes your learners need to understand.
Project management is the art of leading a project team to successfully implement a project at a given project budget and within a specified timeline. The main challenge of project management is to effectively and efficiently assign and manage resources in order to achieve the project’s objectives.
