Students are responsible to complete a Project Management Plan based on the following case study:

Your company, Super Games, requires you to be the Project Manager of the following project: you and your team will develop new hardware (game console) and software (game) for a game.

The current date is January 1, 2021. The game will be released on December 31, 2021. You will need to assemble a project team of engineers (1 designer/1 mechanical), software developers (1 code writer/1 artist) and a marketing team (1 manager/1 customer service representative) to develop the game.

Activities include:

1. Create a project plan

2. Game design

3. Console design

4. Production

5. Develop a test plan

6. Game marketing

7. Game feedback

8. Change requests

9. Project completion

You will need to interact with management, the production factory, local government and retailers during the term of the project.

Note 1: This requires you to use your imagination or past experiences to fill in detail. Concentrate on the structure of your project as opposed to ensuring details are correct. Keep in mind no one develops a game in a year!
