“…Alguns jogos têm sido desenvolvidos com o objetivo de auxiliar o ensino de certos temas da área de ES. Dentre esses, podemos citar o Project Management Game 2D (PMG-2D) (Lino et al, 2015). PMG-2D simula um ambiente real de desenvolvimento de software no qual o jogador, agindo como um gerente de projetos, deve passar pelas fases do ciclo de vida do projeto.…”

A área de engenharia de software (ES) tem avançado em pesquisas teóricas e aplicadas, buscando atender às exigências de um mercado cada vez mais competitivo e dinâmico. Evolução tecnológica e mudanças constantes no desenvolvimento de software, além de experiências da indústria, trazem desafios para a área. Neste contexto, instituições de ensino têm dificuldades para se adaptar a este cenário e lidar com a abrangência de novos temas em ES. Novos temas têm surgido e, dentre eles, pode-se destacar ecossistemas de software (ECOS), que tem ganhado destaque na indústria e levado a diversas pesquisas na área. Por ser um cenário novo e com diversos conceitos que precisam ser ensinados e que nem sempre são triviais, é importante que o conhecimento seja passado de forma clara e simples e que o processo de ensino-aprendizagem seja o mais atrativo possível. Tendo em vista que a área de ES tem utilizado jogos no ensino e que o tema ECOS, por ser novo, ainda é muito pouco explorado nesse sentido, este trabalho apresenta um jogo digital para apoiar o ensino de conceitos de ECOS, chamado Árvore de ECOS. O jogo foi construído seguindo o processo de desenvolvimento de jogos educacionais ENgAGED e verificado com alunos com base no modelo de avaliação MEEGA+. Para esta pesquisa, foram analisadas as dimensões usabilidade, desafio, satisfação, diversão, atenção focada, relevância e percepção da aprendizagem do modelo MEEGA+. Os resultados mostraram que, na percepção dos estudantes, o jogo ajuda no processo de ensino-aprendizagem de conceitos básicos sobre ECOS, sendo mais atrativo para aqueles que não jogam com tanta frequência, pois o jogo foca em mecânicas e objetivos mais simples a fim de evitar outras barreiras ao processo.

“…In recent decades, the nature of project-type or project-oriented work has spread, and this phenomenon is known as "Projectification" (Harrington and Voehl, 2014;Hobday, 2000;Lindkvist, 2004;Packendorff and Lindgren, 2014;Sydow et al, 2004). A project is a unique process that consists of a set of controlled and coordinated activities with a definite beginning and end, the commitment to achieving the goal following specific requirements, which includes time, cost and limited resources (ISO 10006, 2003;Lino et al, 2015).…”

Purpose This paper aims to design and develop a management game in the field of construction project management so that by playing the game, the required level of knowledge, skills, capabilities and overall project management competencies in individuals will be promoted. Also, player’s competencies can be measured. Design/methodology/approach This study, in terms of application, is applied research. The construction project management simulation game (CPMSG) was played by 18 university students. To evaluate the level of the players’ project management knowledge and quality of the game, questionnaires were used. Findings The game improves the players’ project management knowledge by 158%, and the educational program that was formulated in the game has also achieved the first three levels of bloom’s taxonomy of educational objectives. In the field of game quality, analysis of players’ results of responses and scores show that the game has a good quality level. Originality/value The CPMS game provides a useful tool for project management training, especially in the field of construction projects. It helps in addition to improving the quality of teaching theoretical topics, making students acquainted with the risks and uncertainties of such projects, and provides a simulated experience. In the field of common behavior analysis and player’s selection, the results indicated that the majority of groups used high-quality materials during the games to perform activities related to the appearance of the building (such as finishing and building facade activities) and used medium quality materials in implementing infrastructural activities such as brickwork and floor construction that are not visible in the appearance of work.

“…The first view (i.e., Gantt chart) is useful for "hiding" the critical path, as suggested by both the students (SI-13) and the experts (EI-84). The PMG-2D game [49] displays this view, with the chart showing the progress of each project activity.…”

The purpose of this paper is to identify the principles governing successful project management serious (educational) game design and implementation by identifying lessons learned from implementing such games. This paper applied a triangulation method that qualitatively blends the perspectives of project management practitioners, game designers, and learners. The findings of this paper suggest principles of game realism, context, display, gameplay clarity, target audience, feedback, setting, debriefing, communication mode, and personalization. The main potential beneficiaries of this research include project management educators, trainers, students, training participants, and game designers. The study provides a comprehensive project management game design and implementation guideline that could help improve the quality of project management serious games. This paper is the first exploratory study to blend the perspectives of learners (students), serious game experts, and experienced project management practitioners in order to identify the key principles of delivering successful project management educational or serious games.
