The Story

As the project manager at Delphi Printers and Peripherals, each of the participants is tasked with managing a product design team to develop a new and innovative consumer printer. The learners must staff the project team, manage team process, and execute a project plan. Then, the participants analyze information on team size, task completion, cost, team productivity, schedule, and team morale. Unanticipated events and challenges threaten the success of the project and force learners to consider possible tradeoffs among project resources in order to bring the new product to market on time, on budget, and ahead of the competition.
