Experience Project Management. Play It. Learn It.
PMASTER is a hybrid project management simulation that combines a physical board game with a digital facilitator dashboard.
Participants plan and manage projects on the physical game board, experiencing the challenges of project planning, execution, resource management, risks, constraints, and decision-making.
At the end of the game, participants submit their results from their phones in just a few minutes. The official PMASTER scoring model automatically processes the results, giving the facilitator a live dashboard for analysis, discussion, and debrief.
Objective
Players have a simple goal: to enhance the value of their projects by strategically planning and executing tasks. Yet the challenges along the way (both expected and unforeseen) make goal attainment a little trickier than it sounds.
Challenges
Throughout the game, players must deal with constraints, manage risks, and work with strict budgets and resources. They quickly find themselves in a delicate balancing act, focusing on small details while eyeing big-picture objectives.
Skills Development
The game fosters the development of new perspectives, enhances decision-making skills, and encourages creative thinking. As they learn to collaborate effectively, players must balance their healthy competitive appetite with the immediate benefits of cooperation.
