Module 3 Project Planning and Scheduling Management

For SLP 3, the assignment is to play a simulation entitled Project Management Simulation: Scope, Resources, and Schedule.

The simulation is an abbreviated demonstration of Harvard University, and it runs for three weeks or three cycles; however, you can play it many times as long as you login after three cycles. The simulation has three main tasks under tabs: prepare, analyze, and decide. It is recommended to view the introductory video and navigate project objectives and how to play before attempting the assignment.
