Hey Joe, thanks for the comment! A couple of years ago I developed an expanded 'senior PM' version where you hired your own team members and they persisted, that is you could use the same team for future more complicated projects. I think I made the game too complicated though since it was not very popular. I am working on something in-between now, something where indeed you can select your team members, train them, and keep them for multiple projects but the new version will retain most of the simplicity of this original game. If you register and leave me an email address while doing so then I'll notify you when the new version is ready to try. I don't have an ETA at the moment.

Wow that was very intersting game indeed.
I played 3 times but failing to locate the staff according and i managed to work on the budget onthe 4th attempt. thank you for the powerful game that sharpens our mind, it really make the brain think and focus, i really enjoyed it.
I believe you do may be have some activities that can be printed / use other app to accept on line game like this that we can share with the team we work work. just want something that can make them think but also have sine like this one. even some link will do.
MM. Glad you like the game! I don't have any other links or published information to share. The web is bursting with information on Project Management though as I am sure you know. I just want to provide a simple but fun game that gets to the heart of the PM role.

Hello all,
I'm a PM professor and love the tool. How are others using it in the classroom. Would love some new ideas.
Thank you in advance

This is wonderful! I was looking for some exercises to help teach project management principles and this was fun and educational. Keep up the great work.
Glad you like it Wai! Jill, sorry that nobody has responded to your question. I am the developer. I know that a great many educators have told me that they use the game in class, alas, I don't know exactly how. The few that I worked with early on in the development of the game used a combination of home work and in-class discussion with the game projected on a screen. The ability to pause was not in the original game and I had a lot of feedback requesting that feature so now you have it. I would suggest that if you don't hear from others that you just experiment with it. Good luck and glad you like the game also! Robc.

I enjoyed playing this game. I found it to be an effective learning tool. I recognized several things (1) it is important to recognize the character of each player their strength and weakness and (2) avoid burnout. As Project Managers to distribute the assignments using all team players. The assignment offered the chance button twice but did not use it. As the PM I did save the business money however the project was overextended.
