MMORPG called Project
In this presentation, we’ll explore the parallels between the world of Project Management and the dynamic universe of MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games).
Just as players in an MMORPG assemble a diverse team, complete quests, and prepare for an epic final boss fight, Project Managers act as Game Masters for their projects. They orchestrate the formation of a well-balanced team, and guide them through the main questline of project delivery. These Game Masters ensure that every "character" (team member) experiences meaningful progression in their roles and that the journey is both engaging and fulfilling.
Our focus will include the essentials of project planning and people engagement, with insights on Agile and Scrum frameworks viewed through the lens of game mechanics.
Additionally, we’ll discuss the potential of AI in enhancing gamification within project management. Just as AI powers NPCs and decision-making in games, it can also drive a smarter, more engaging project experience. By analyzing individual team members' skills and project status, PM with use of AI, can easily suggest creative challenges or “side quests” that align with team's growth path.
With AI-driven insights, Project Managers can adaptively gamify phases of the delivery process, fostering a more immersive and rewarding project journey. This technology allows us to introduce a layer of creativity and adaptability, making the project experience as engaging and personalized as a compelling game.
