Are you interested in playing a role game?

I get the concept of what you are thinking, and I would be willing to play the key stakeholder in this situation. I have some time to devote to a project dedicated to help educate and train. Best, Tara

It sounds very interesting. But my concern is that types of tools and nature of templates might be different based on the project situation, application area, complexity of the project etc. So it might be difficult to assign roles to those who are not familiar to project situation given in the scheduled role game.

Hi Rami,

thanks for your response and for your willingness to participate. To be honest i am not really sure about this by myself. It was just an idea coming over me while working on this.

But i think it could be a great benefit for the initiative "MP4PM" and for the participants also.

And don't worrie about the time, first we will not start this really in this year anymore; there have some things to be prepared first. And even if we have started this there will be no time issues since it is a virtual game and we will make our own time their. ;)

Because of your experience and your skills and also your time issues may be, i would prefer to see you in the sponsors role here (cause the project manager will have more or less the most effort here, i guess).

But for final decision let's first wait for some more responses.
If there will be not more people to be willing to participate, it doesn't make much sense to start this off ... we will see. ;)

Thanks so far.

Regards,

Markus

Hi Sungjoon,

you are right, but guess what? It is just a "game", right? So it doesn't really matter if someone is not really experienced with the given situation (which still has to be described, any ideas for a sample project/program?).

But on the other hand you are right, i would prefer to have a somewhat experienced project manager also in the role of the "pm", so that the sample files/documents have a minimum quality/relevance as a sample, right?

And on the note of the different natures of projects and so ... well, we will try to define the templates/docs as much aligned to the PMBoK Guide standards, as they could be. That means, it will be widely standardized and has to be tailored to the specific projects like described in the PMBoK Guide.
Independent from that, the material is highly flexible and can be customized for any needs. (at least we hope so ...).

For which role would you buy in, Sungjoon? Project manager? ...;)

Regards,

Markus

Hi Markus,

I have over 15 year experience in managing civil construction projects like road and civil works for hydro power plant mainly in Asia and Africa. I might not be suitable to take PM role in the role game because managing construction projects might be too domain specific comparing to general practices in the PMBOK Guide.. I may take the role of a stakeholder, if possible.
