Description of the Interactive Tool
The SimSE is an open source interactive simulation game to improve skills in software engineering management. The game simulates the processes that happen during software development phase. The player is positioned as a project manager for team of developers. The objective of the game is to complete a particular part of the software engineering project and ensure that it incorporates into the complex software system. The management activities include team organization, budget planning and administration, control of the assigned tasks, etc. The simulation involves random unexpected events which lead to critical decision making, risk management issues and realistic experience.
