PMCOASTER ®
DYNAMIC
It is a dynamics developed to simulate the real
projects environment.
Divided into teams, the participants will plan and
execute the construction of a functional high speed
roller coaster prototype for a theme park.
Students will define the work, evaluate the project
feasible budget and time in order to execute it. They will do so
concerning the time and costs constraints. Then, students will
execute and monitor the project to demonstrate the effectiveness
of the plan in adverse conditions.
The approximate duration of the dynamics is 2 hours and its main
objective is to show the interrelationship between the scope
required, deadlines and available budget. In addition, the aspects
related to the teamwork quality are directly addressed.
