This educational game is designed to help you experience various concepts in project execution.
Your goal is to develop and ship an IT product. To do this, you must produce 10 pieces of integrated code. The customer will inspect 8 pieces of code. So long as the customer finds no major bugs in the code, and at most 2 bugs, you win the game. Note these initial numbers can change depending on various circumstances that occur in the game.
There are two key things you need to produce enough integrated code. The first thing you need to do is hire competent project team members. The second thing you need to do is make them work. Every week, your project team will encounter opportunities and problems. With a little luck, how you manage hiring, working, and the opportunities and problems will determine how successful your project is.
