Serious Game Project Management - The Mind Games Doctrine

Discover the secrets of efficient cross-cultural and remote project management for serious games in “The Mind Games Doctrine”. I will guide you through my 7-step project management approach that combines classical principles with experience design, gamification and user-centered design processes. We will explore the phases of framing, analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation and handover/closure by showing you real-life examples of global projects and transparently speak about mistakes you should avoid. Together we will do some hands-on activities and experiment with elements that align with the Mind Games Doctrine. Finally, you will be able to select tools that are useful for your own context to improve your project management skills for game-based solutions. Does that sound like fun? (Well, probably not, but I’m German and we’re not known for fun, but for efficiency.)
