AVA 3D PM Simulation

Description (download here)

This Project Management Simulation Tool is a revolutionary highly interactive self-learning tool with simulations based on real-life situations in project management. It is based on the PMI standard methodology and covers all the processes of Project Management. AVA PMS allows participants to work individually in a fun, interactive and life-like situation, quickly gaining valuable experience in a safe environment.

 

Once the Simulation Tool has been completed, the participants will meet for a 1 or 2-day classroom workshop to discuss their experience and strengthen their knowledge in specific areas of Project Management. These areas will be defined in advance, and will include topics that need more in-depth exploration, depending on the needs of the organization (see below for a suggested list of topics).

 

The course is designed for Project Team Members, new Project Managers, and experienced Project Managers who are looking for a more structured approach and to  refresh their skills.

Overview

The PM Simulation Tool is divided into 2 parts:

 

Theory

·         Interactive presentations of the PM Cycle, concepts and best practice

·        Exercises based on the Project Life Cycle phases (Initiate, Plan, Execute, Monitor and Control, Close)

·         Memos and hypertext presentations for deeper understanding of each concept

·        The Expert’s perspective

 

Practice
