Project management has emerged as a

crucial function that determines the suc-

cess of an organization. Whether it is a

question of facing an economic crisis or

generation large turnover, project man-

agement plays a pivotal role in the growth

of a firm.

Any unsuccessful project can be directly

linked to faulty utilization of skills, improp-

er allocation of resources, mismatch be-

tween resources and skills. Hence, it is ex-

tremely important for any organization to

get staffing, process, planning and com-

munication absolutely right.

ProMan simulation puts the participants in

the shoes of a project manager. They

make crucial decisions on project estima-

tion, planning, execution and monitoring.

In this safe learning environment, they not

only learn the important concepts of pro-

ject management but also apply them on

virtual projects and get immediate feed-

back on their decisions.
