Digital Strategic Board Game

Fontys has established a Portfolio Management Office (PMO) that facilitates and supports all strategic projects within the institution. The PMO also provides multiple training sessions and workshops for project leaders and directors of these strategic projects. In recent years, they have developed a board game for these training sessions, which playfully teaches participants how to make decisions based on resource scarcity. This game emphasizes the importance of making strategic choices, particularly when faced with limited IT personnel resources.

The objective now is to transform this board game into a digital format, allowing for further development and enhancement of the game’s features and educational impact.

Scope and Requirements

• The digital game must replicate the core learning objectives of the board game, particularly focusing on resource management and strategic decision-making.
• The digital version should be interactive and user-friendly, making it accessible for participants with varying levels of digital literacy.
• The game should allow for scalability and potential future updates or expansions.
• Incorporate elements that enhance the learning experience, such as real-time feedback or scenario variations.

Starting Resources

• Access to the original board game and its rules.
• Insights and feedback from previous training sessions using the board game.
• PMO support in understanding the strategic project landscape at Fontys.

Expected Deliverables

• functional prototype of the digital version of the board game
• documentation on game mechanics and how they align with the training objectives
• potential roadmap for future updates or additional features based on user feedback
