G2G3, the leading global provider of Simulations and Readiness Programs, has announced the latest release of PoleStar PM, an updated version of its popular Project and Portfolio Management simulation.
PoleStar PM is a high-impact simulation which accelerates understanding, involvement and acceptance of project and IT related best practices for all those involved in critical IT projects within an organization. Facilitated in a fast paced, enterprise IT scenario, Polestar PM brings to life the project based people and process issues faced by IT enterprises, and introduces project based best practices through gaming dynamics.
The latest exciting version of this simulation now expands on the existing project management best practice learning outcomes to include a practical focus on the Application Development lifecycle. This inclusive approach ensures that all functions of IT and the business experience total immersion in the improved simulation gameplay, creating a shared vision and holistic understanding of the challenges faced in successful project delivery. Not only are project management best practices such as PRINCE2 introduced, but also popular application development methodologies such as Agile Software Development. The flexibility of the improved simulation allows focus to be placed in specific functional areas, dependent upon the profile of the participants.
PoleStar PM can be licensed by organizations wishing to improve their cross-organizational project delivery or IT vendors and service organizations looking to add significant value to their portfolios.
The new version of PoleStar PM will be premiered by G2G3 at the itSMF Fusion 2008 exhibition and conference at the Moscone Center, San Francisco, September 7-10 2008.
Mark Ross Sutherland, CEO of G2G3 commented: “Adding the Application Development dynamic to this energetic project based simulation not only strengthens the simulation gameplay, but also demonstrates the benefits of cross-organizational communication and teamwork for successful project delivery”.
