Cayenne®: Learning about effective project management by means of a business simulation

You are probably familiar with the following scenario: projects exceed their budget, overrun their original planning, need to be adjusted to altered circumstances and, to put it in a nutshell, often turn into anything but fun. The Standish Group research underlines this observation:

Standish Group Statistic (IT Projects)

  31 percent of all projects are cancelled before completion.

  53 percent of all completed projects exceed the estimated budget by 189 percent and the estimated time by 222 percent.

  Only 16 percent of all projects are completed on time and on budget.

You can find the Standish Group research results under standishgroup.com.

In order for your people to learn the effectiveness of project management, the Scandinavian company Celemi® developed the business simulation Cayenne®.
Celemi® is one of the leading developers of business simulations. Cayenne® makes it possible for the first time to experience all facets of project management comprehensively in one simulation. Cayenne® is perfectly suitable to train your newly assembled project teams!

Good results however, can also be achieved by already existing teams since Cayenne® enables them to realize their own behaviour, reflect upon and optimize it. Cayenne® can also significantly contribute to trainee and management development programs. After all, the successful completion of projects is crucial to the overall business success - and successful projects require well-trained employees.

Cayenne® is available in German and English, and thus, very suitable for international project teams.
