Project Phoenix - a Project Management Business Game
The crowds are waiting… competitors are watching expectantly. Can Project Phoenix resurrect your theme park’s dwindling trade or is the ride of your life likely to derail before it even begins? You need to bring all your Project Management excellence to ensure success. Can you live up to those high expectations?
Quanta's Project Phoenix business game bridges the gap between knowledge and behaviour, enabling delegates to learn for themselves the importance of not just learning, but applying sound project principles. Each team member will have the opportunity to experience various roles with the project – how will you ace up to being Project Manager as the launch date approaches?
*This Business Game can be run over 1 or 2 days.*

Delegates taking part in Project Phoenix Business Game take on the roles of a project management team tasked with selecting and implementing an initiative to reverse the dwindling trade of the theme park business Tolerant Sow.
Delegates will experience the following parts of the project lifecycle: Requirements Management, Resource Scheduling, Project Implementation and Post Project Review.
They will also have the option of being exposed to one additional module from Developing a Business Case, Stakeholder Analysis, or Risk Management.
Alternatively, if taken as a two day course all modules can be experienced.
Anyone who works in a project management role, whether an experienced veteran or a novice project support officer.
