Hi! A Grand Hello to all my students of project management!
I would occasionally put some interesting matter for you to read and enjoy!
1. Project management - building game
Original URL: http://teaching-operations-management.wikispaces.com/Project+Management+-+Building+game
This is a game to demonstrate the balance between planning and execution in project management. The game asks teams to build a skyscraper out of dried spaghetti and marshmallows. The team with the highest building that can hold the most weight wins.
