Practice games for project managers
Formulas stick when you feel them. Each game takes a concept that reads as dry theory, PMP exam material included, and turns it into something you play. Free, no signup, works on your phone.
Impediment triage
It Depends
Real team situations, ten seconds each. What would you actually do? A judgment game for experienced Scrum Masters. Read a real team situation and make the call: hand it to the team, clear it yourself, coach the pattern, or escalate. Then see if it matches Giora's. There is no single right answer, only your default instincts under pressure and a triage archetype at the end.Team / InterveneCoach / EscalateServant leadershipWhen it's yours to fix
Earned value management
On the Spot
A stakeholder corners you: schedule and budget, go. Read a project's PV, EV, and AC, then call schedule and budget status before a 20-second clock runs out. Ten rounds, streaks, and combo multipliers. Teaches SPI and CPI the way working PMs actually use them.PV / EV / ACSPI = EV ÷ PVCPI = EV ÷ ACEAC forecasting
Communication channels
Telephone Tree
Keep every channel fresh as the team keeps growing. You're the PM in the middle. Every pair of teammates is a communication line that goes stale unless you tap it, and a new teammate joins every few seconds. Survive as long as you can before trust collapses. Teaches why coordination overhead grows quadratically.n(n − 1) ÷ 2Team size effectsCoordination overhead
Risk response
Risk Expedition
Eight weeks, one risk each, ten tokens to spend. Every week brings a new risk with its own probability and impact. Spend limited tokens to avoid, transfer, mitigate, or accept it, then watch a dice roll decide your fate. Survive all 8 weeks with budget and stakeholder trust above zero. Teaches the four risk response strategies and the probability-impact matrix.Avoid / TransferMitigate / AcceptProbability x impactEMV
More games are on the way. Critical path and other make-you-feel-it concepts are in the pipeline. New games land here first.
