If I were to play the role as the Project Manager for this week’s simulation, then I would push for everyone to start researching the day the simulation comes out. Since the span of this simulation is only a week’s worth, time management is crucial just like others have already stated in this thread. So as soon as everyone has absorbed all the information, understand the problem and what we need to do, then everyone should be doing some research on the solution. After the first day, I would have everyone share their research and then for everyone’s proposed solution we would all come to and agree on the most common. Since there are around 4-5 project team members on each team, I would anticipate there to be a common solution that people have researched. After our first solution is given to Dr. Simon, then it’s all situational from there. After each round, I would have anyone who has an idea to just submit it in a round, no matter how off it may be. The purpose of this is to make use of how much the project life cycle we have because the more information we have the better and sooner we are to finding the perfect solution. Once we actually have the solution, then as Project Manager I would sum up the report myself. If I have difficulty with a question then I ask input from the project team member I feel had the most familiarity with that question. I would then share the report with all project team members for any changes they may feel are necessary and submit.
