Project management simulation with PTB Project Team Builder

Abstract

This paper presents a new tool for the teaching professional and students of Project Management—a tool that can easily integrate traditional teaching based on any course or textbook available in the market. The Project Team Builder software tool combines an interactive, dynamic case study and a simple yet effective Project Management System. The Project Team Builder (PTB) won the Project Management Institute (PMI) 2008 Professional Development Product of the Year Award. It is designed to support teaching of project management at the graduate and undergraduate level as well as for training professionals. PTB is the basis of a new book published by Springer “Project Management Simulation with PTB Project Team Builder”. The FTB provides an environment for hand-on experience in project scheduling, resource and budget planning, risk management and project control.
