• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A project is more than an assembly of methods, tools and resources. projects often seem to have a soul. They require dedication, belief and commitment. The only way to experience a project, assess and develop the skills associated with it is to live through it. The six micro-projects in this collection highlight the kinds of skills typical of creative project teams. They can be used to practise: team working in a project environment; working as a team to satisfy a need expressed in terms of time, cost and quality; the skills associated with creativity, problem solving and team leadership; the guiding principles for tackling projects creatively. The collection includes the following games: Eggbox is a creative project that emphasizes idea generation; Ironbridge simulates a project where consortia explore the specifications of a project; Tower of Straws produces a situation in which change is frequent and normal; Domino Race is based on an imaginative design scenario that needs to reflect operational constraints; Catapult is an all-day task offering a complete project management experience and, finally. The Autonomous Team Activity encourages productivity and initiative in the project team.
