SimulTrain

SimulTrain is a Project Management Simulator used in project management training programs. SimulTrain is a simulation of the planning and execution phases of a medium-sized project, that involves all of the events that occur.

SimulTrain is a computer-based multimedia tool which allows the participants to learn:

to structure a project; to control the progress of a project; to use project management tools.

Training is done in small groups of 3-4 people in a period of 6-10 hours. The simulator confronts the groups with situations very different in nature and often requiring quick decisions. The participants thus learn how to work and make decisions as a team.

The simulator involves multimedia technology: the participants receive phone calls, e-mails and voice-mails, thus surrounding them in a realistic project atmosphere.

At the end of the simulation, the trainees assess their mistakes and the lessons they learned individually as well as in the group.
