SimProject®, is an online project simulation (both the technical and human aspects) from Fissure Corporation used by many academic institutions around the world as part of their project management curriculum. SimProject, the Alliance Prototype project has 7 tasks and 10 potential team members. SimProject can be given as standalone home work for students (individual or teams), or utilized as a classroom activity with teams of three or four students sharing the role of project manager. Purchase includes three runs or complete executions of the simulated project. SimProject will expire after the third run or after 120 days (even if all runs are not completed).
