Ready... Set... Go!

Project Management / Team Development - in real time

Projects have their own rules: In projects, the success of a single person depends on the success of the others.

This simulation was especially developed to train groups in topics relating to project management, customer orientation and teamwork.

The most important learning principle is to work not only in theory but to enable participants act practically and independently.

Content:

With this simulation, participants work on a complete project, from the very beginning to the very end. Participants design and build a complete system, which require coloured coolants to be filled into empty fire extinguishers. They use equipments such as tubes, pipes, valves, scissors and a pump!

The system must meet customer requirements - that of the Company Minova, who checks the outcome at the end of the day.

On the first day, the team develops the project to create and build the fire-fighting system. Additionally, the team receives theoretical input dealing with project management besides an analysis on the behaviour of the teams.

On the second day a complete evaluation of the following key issues relating to team-building takes place and participants are presented with exercises on various topics:

The main aspects of Ready... Set... GO!:

• Definition of the projects
• Project phases
• Planning methods for complex tasks
• Main topics of the project phases
• Success factors involved in project work
• Risk management

• Typical mistakes made in project work

Team building

• How are teams formed?
• Which stages in team development already exist?
• How can you solve conflicts within the team?

• Project teams that start to work together and want to develop their own strategies
• Already existing teams that want to check their cooperation and working methods and possibly redefine their ways to work more effectively

• All employees who intend to work in projects.
