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.
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
