Description

ProjectLife is an interactive simulation of all phases of a project. The main deliverables are:

  • Business Case

  • Project Plan (in the form of project cockpits)

  • Three Change requests

  • Three Status reports

  • One Lessons Learned report

  • A Club model, which complies with the requirements

  • A marketing video

  • A marketing poster

  • An organization chart

  • Skill profiles and job advertisements

The simulation is based on a case study and shows the complete lifecycle of a project, from the idea phase until its completion. The participants will be divided into teams to carry-out a complete project with its key challenges. They will initiate, plan, execute, monitor, control and close it. All important activities within project management will be practiced. The participants will receive feedback on the quality of their project planning and estimates. Next to the technical skills, they will also acquire all interpersonal elements of project management, like conflict management, team building and leadership.
