Abstract

A simplified microcomputer program has been developed that simulates the progress and project reporting structure of an industrial construction project. The program takes the form of an interactive game whose objective is to strengthen project management skills. The program is set up by the player to specify the desired type, frequency, and detail of reports as well as the intensity of predefined problems that the program introduces to disturb the project. Once established, the program begins to cycle through the project, typically on a monthly basis. As reports are produced, the player attempts to identify when a problem has occurred and selects appropriate solutions from among alternatives provided by the program. The program, written in FORTRAN, is designed to run under the MS DOS operating system.
