Challenge of Egypt An Agile Simulation

Serious Fun.

Serious game simulations place participants inside a realistic, exciting, virtual world and task them with a series of challenges. It is a risk-free environment, a face-to-face learning arena, and an engaging, interactive classroom where a business or IT concept is brought to life in a fun and dynamic way.

• Explore AGILE best practices and how to effectively use them in a Project environment
• Increase Project performance and CUSTOMER value
• Understand project roles and dependencies in an AGILE setting
• Get more out your Project Management training, translate theory into practice
• Improve Team Work and identify improvements to the way you manage and run projects

How will building a pyramid improve your teams Agile skills?

The Project Management world is searching for new ways of managing projects. Lot’s of projects fail and millions of dollars are lost. AGILE and SCRUM seems to be the keywords in a world with fast-changing customer demands and requirements. But, running AGILE projects is completely different than running a traditional project.

Why is this?

• Most of the Agile training is focused on Theory and just some small exercise
• Managing Agile projects is managing dynamics. It requires interactions with all project stakeholders
• Roles of traditional project management roles are changing. Must more teamwork, communication and integration.
