Project Management Simulation: Scope, Resources, and Schedule

$1.$ Introduction: Include the purpose of this project $($not the purpose of the simulation$).$ Remember to cite the simulation.

$2.$ Overview: On a single slide, describe your final, individual project management simulation containing all scenario outcomes. Consider using data from the simulation itself and explaining it in your oral narrative.

$3.$ Correlation: Revisit your ideas about decision parameters $($e$.$g$.,$ target scope, team size, skill level, outsourcing, deadlines, overtime, time spent in meetings$)$ affect project outcomes $($e$.$g$.,$ task completion, costs, productivity, new problems, deadline slips$)$ and team attributes $($e$.$g$.,$ morale, stress, mistakes$)$

a$.$ What is your new approach to causal relationships?

b$.$ How have your ideas about causal relationships changed?

c$.$ How confident in your ideas were you when approaching the final simulation?

$4.$ Implementation: Visually depict your project management and operations strategy in the final simulation

a$.$ Assess how these strategies actually worked as you implemented your strategy

b$.$ Explain what strategies worked, under what conditions they worked, and why they worked $($support with theory$)$

c$.$ Explain what strategies did not work, under what conditions they did not work, and why they did not work $($support with theory$)$

$5.$ Learning: What strategies work for managing projects?

a$.$ How does strategy needs to change based on issues of certainty and types of objectives?

b$.$ How and where will you apply this knowledge in the near term and further in the future?
