Fundamentals Project Management Simulation

Now earn 12 PDUs!

Why listen or read when you can “do”?  Don’t just sit in class bored - engage in an interactive project simulation that challenges participants to apply and learn fundamental tools, techniques and concepts.

The learning occurs as you run a decision-driven simulation comprised of real-life people, a real-life company, a real-life project, and the daily challenges encountered on any real project. You must navigate challenges like schedule, scope, staffing and ongoing interactions with difficult team members and politically motivated stakeholders. You will finish with more confidence in both planning and managing projects and people using all the fundamental tools. Run the simulation a second time for increased learning as you avoid previous mistakes and further develop your project management skills.

Purchase includes three runs or complete executions of the simulated project. Your account will expire after the third run or after 120 days (even if all runs are not completed). Ignore the ship to a different address option as there is nothing shipped with your purchase.

Upon purchase and validation, you will receive a confirmation email and a second email (from spl@fissure.com) with a link, login and account setup information. Click on the link in the registration email and then click on the Login icon. Your computer will be loaded with the communication software to run your simulation. This includes the installation of Silverlight if you don't already have it installed. You will then see a Login screen. Click on the "Help/Videos" menu to watch instructional videos and read the Instructions Manual before logging in (they can be accessed after login too). Once you have logged in, you will be asked to set your own password. After setting your password you will see an Execution Management window from which you can start running your simulation. In the Execution Management window you will be asked to pick an instructor (pick Instructor Ainstructor), and then pick your classroom (Fissure PM Fundamentals Simulation Classroom).Remember to watch the videos and refer to the Help buttons on each page for instructions on reading about, planning, and executing your project. When ready click on the "Available Action" button "Start New Project" or "Resume Project". You can log out at any time - it will save where you are. You will not be able to start your second or third execution until prior execution projects are completed.

If you see a blank screen after clicking on the Logn icon, test your Silverlight installation here. It will tell you if your computer is ready to use Silverlight. If your computer is not ready, follow the instructions. You may have to uninstall and reinstall Silverlight if you are seeing a blank screen after clicking on the Login icon.

If Silverlight isn't working for you and you are getting errors trying to either uninstall, reinstall or upgrade Silverlight. Click here and follow the instructions.
