Project Management Simulation: Evaluation of Scenario Session 3
Brief Description
Instruction for simulation assignments vary from case to case. Students will pay special attention to information accompanying the simulation paper and use appropriately.
Your professor will build a library in Harvard Business Publishing of the course material, use it to build a course pack and distribute this to you. When activating the course pack, the professor will determine the payment mode and communicate this to you. The activation process will produce a unique course pack link that will be emailed to students or posted to gain access and for purchase of the simulation. It is important to purchase the simulation prior to the beginning of class as the simulation begins at the start of week 3.
*The simulations is to be purchased by each student and will be done individually.
Details of simulation can be purchased from Harvard Business Publishing link:

Description
Scenario D and E present very difficult situations to students. They will find these scenarios very challenging and perhaps quite frustrating as they realize that they cannot achieve their objectives. Scores in D and E tend to be lower than for the other scenarios, and the range of scores can be very wide. Students should play long enough to realize that they won’t be able to complete these projects successfully and will therefore need to adopt an approach thatmarks the best of a challenging situation. If both scenarios are used, play time should last a bare minimum of 20 minutes. Again, suggest questions for students to bear in mind as they run the simulations.
Submission Instructions
After playing the simulation, students will generate a short debrief summary that responds to the following assignment questions:
In this scenario, what has changed?
What strategies did you use to deal with this scenario? What worked? What didn’t? Were you able to complete the project successfully?
Having dealt now with these different project scenarios, how would you revise your project management advice?
