Abstract
The main objective of this project is to develop a game that serves to put yourself in the shoes of a Project Manager and acquire knowledge of this field in a more practical and entertaining way. It is mainly designed for students who aspire to work in project management. The responsibilities that players will take on throughout the game are mainly related to recruiting team members, assigning tasks, and managing the budget. These responsibilities will be affected by different occurrences that may occur during the game project, and players will have to employ strategies to cope with these events in order to finish the game project in the shortest in time and within the initial budget. To achieve the result of the project, an analysis of the existing games in this field has been carried out, as well as an in-depth study of issues in the world of project management. The methodology for developing the game was also based on a trial-and-error model, in which different adjustments were tested in order to arrive at a game where the players, in addition to being entertained, learn project management concepts. With these components, the player will have to develop the established project. The result is a board game, consisting of a Kanban board, cards representing tasks, employees and occurrences, a budget tracking sheet, a calendar and a dice. In conclusion, these types of games have great potential as they allow you to learn while you entertain yourself, as well as allowing the player to put themselves in the role of a manager and thus have a more realistic view of what it is like to have a position of this kind
