Project Management 201
- In this brand new AMA seminar, you’ll have the unique opportunity to time-travel through a three-month project in a matter of hours. In the simulated project environment, you’ll experience leadership challenges and changing expectations—as well as the stress, emotions, and other issues that can derail projects.
- Working in groups of four, you and your peers will start with an unfinished project plan and see it through, from planning to closing. With the clock ticking, the project simulation software will hold you accountable for reaching every milestone.
- You’ll choose your project team and assign resources to project activities, and make the necessary decisions to solve problems, manage conflicts, and motivate team members. The immediate feedback you’ll get will help you identify areas where improvement is needed.

What did the pilot group think?
"Excellent, innovative, and fun class! I encourage all experienced BAs to take this course - well worth your time."
"PM 201 was great!!! The fact that it wasn't all theory but used an actual hands on simulator was a big plus. Our team enjoyed ourselves while we learned. "
"The Project Management 201 class was great! I enjoyed the "day in the life of a PM" experience, and took away some great learning.. If you have the opportunity this is definitely a class to participate in!"
"Awesome interactive class...the day flew by...was engaging and fun. Great way to experience a Project Managers role."
"I enjoyed this class. It gave me a better perspective of what a PM does. I liked that it was hands on and not a lecture."
"Project Management 201 was a great class and I'd highly suggest you attend as a new PM, Consultant or BA; Experienced or non-experienced. As this program provides that real world favor unlike traditional classes that you might have taken before. Experience a different type of learning and take Project Management 201 when it's offered at your location."
"The Class was outstanding!! It gave me a view into the life of a PM. I would recommend this class to anyone interested in PM work or for those interested in seeing what it's like to be them for a day!! I challenge anyone who takes it to beat our scores!"
"The key differentiation of this course was the simulated environment that provided real life situations that PM's will experience throughout the project management life cycle. Great class for both new PM and experienced PM's! "
"What an innovative way to teach and learn. I think everyone should experience the new PM 201. Thank you L&D and HSBC team for inviting me."
"Great class! Learning was through actually running a project instead of lectures/textbooks, so retention should be longer."
