The Project Scheduling Game

Project optimization in the classroom

The Project Scheduling Game (PSG) is an IT-supported simulation game to get acquainted with dynamic project scheduling using the critical path method (CPM). The critical path method involves a time/cost trade-off in project activities and require the construction of a project baseline schedule within a predefined project deadline and budget. The uncertainty during project progress disturbs the original baseline schedule and requires interventions to bring the project back on track.
