Sorry that this forum has been offline for awhile. We are up and running again. I am currently working on localizing the PM game to the Spanish language with others to follow, If any Spanish speakers want to chip in and help I'd be grateful. Google translate is likely to create some strange words and phrases I know. Just leave me a message here or by email. Thanks. Robc.

Avoiding cost is not always the best. Know your staff capabilities and you will see positive results.

@Stan, re: How is Rudy still employed? lol, I imagine that Rudy might work in Government? Or at a company large enough that they don't efficiently cull their weakest. The simple matter is that the Rudys of the world really do have jobs in the PM industry. Thanks for playing! @Tshepo, very true! Robc.

As a project manager, my role is multifaceted and involves planning, executing, monitoring and closing all phases of a project. Here are some of the key responsibilities and important aspects of project management:
1. Planning
Goal Setting: Clarify the goals and expected outcomes of the project.
Resource Planning: Determine the resources required for the project, including manpower, materials and budget.
Time Management: Develop a detailed project schedule, including key milestones and deadlines.
Risk Assessment: Identify potential project risks and develop corresponding mitigation strategies.
2. Execution
Task Allocation: Allocate tasks reasonably based on the skills and resources of team members.
Communication and Coordination: Ensure effective communication between team members and with stakeholders.
Team Building: Build an efficient team and promote teamwork and collaboration among members.
3. Monitoring and Control
Progress Tracking: Monitor project progress and ensure that the project proceeds as planned.
Quality Control: Ensure that the project outcomes meet the predetermined quality standards.
Change Management: Handle change requests that arise during the project and evaluate their impact on the project.
Problem Solving: Resolve problems and conflicts that arise in the project in a timely manner.
4. Closing
Project evaluation: At the end of the project, evaluate the project results and summarize the lessons learned.
Document organization: Organize project documents, including project reports, meeting minutes and outcome documents.
Team disbanding: After the project is over, properly disband the team and handle follow-up matters.
Resource allocation
In project management, resource allocation is a key link. As a project manager, I need to:
Evaluate resource requirements: According to the project plan, evaluate the required manpower, materials and budget.
Optimize resource use: Under limited resources, reasonably allocate and ensure the effective use of resources.
Flexible adjustment: Flexibly adjust resource allocation according to project progress and actual conditions.
Games and project management topics
In project management games, such as the games you mentioned, project managers need to:
Simulation practice: Improve project management skills through simulation practice.
Decision making: Make decisions in the game, such as task allocation, resource management and risk response.
Learning experience: Learn project management experience from the game, including lessons from success and failure.
In short, as a project manager, my role is key to ensuring the successful completion of the project. Through effective planning, execution, monitoring and closure, and appropriate resource allocation, I can ensure that project objectives are achieved while meeting stakeholder needs and expectations

I enjoyed this. It provides a person with an idea of how to manage their project schedule and align working and duration accordingly.
