Presidentrsquos Column
While I was on holiday the terrible news of MH17 reached me How horrible
were the first TV shots of the disaster scenery How impressive and respectful
were the arrival of the deceased at Eindhoven airport The Chapter thus far did
not receive any messages about direct involvement of any of our members
Nevertheless with 900+ members most likely members are engaged indirectly
with many of the victims their relatives friends colleagues neighbours and
others that were close At least I am Two people in my small village died in this
terrible and unbelievable disaster Did I know them Not really but the
opportunity to get to know each other is brutally taken away from them from
me from you Why I donrsquot know and I donrsquot understand What I do know is
that our chapter community mourns in silence and with deep respect for the victims and all those
that were close
Our community mourns around the globe as the warm words from Becky Winston received by e-mail
show ldquoMy deepest sympathies to the Netherlands on the horrific loss of life suffered with the
Malaysian Airline 17 tragic act To think the world has loss great minds in the fight on AIDsHIV and
other life that was positive and contributing is unthinkable The world mournsrdquo (Becky Winston
Past PMI Board Chair 2002 Fellow PMI)
Healing those deep wounds will take a lot of time while it will never be the same again The Chapterrsquos
warmest sympathies are with you

From the desk of the Events Director
This time Irsquod like to start my update to you PMI NL Chapter members with another
request to help us to identify whether your organization could host one of our chapter

operation and you will get great reward from the other members that we can have one
of our great sessions at your company In other words we struggle a bit to get free
access to meeting locations with room for approx 50 ndash 100 people (already if 50 persons
would fit in)
Your help will be much appreciated

money
PMI NL Chapter wants to be socially engaged engage by means of activating members (volunteers) to support charity
organizations to improve their operational efficiency by means of
- Project Portfolio Management doing the right projects

We are trying to organize a kick-off event a world cafeacute workshop for September in which we will perform Project Portfolio
Management techniques on the different charity objectives in The Netherlands to determine
a Which good cause charity organization is the most appealing to our members
b What added value can we bring to which project
From this workshop wersquod like to set-up a group of volunteers within the chapter supported by the chapter and all of us
who can start with actual hands-on supporting the chosen organization andor a specific project with coaching planning or
even actual work on location wherever in the world
So keep you agenda free at the end of September to join us in this great interactive workshop in which you will learn
portfolio management techniques on the fly
HELP I would appreciate some help on setting up this world cafeacute session so feel free to volunteer already In addition I
have been working hard to get a charity organization to allow us to use their canteen to hold the workshop but thus far I
was not successful to secure a location and date Do you have ties into a charity organization that might want to host our
workshop chapter meeting please let me know

A survey on PM certification Project Management certification continues at an increasing rate around the world Certification is a very important
component of professional practice and is a vital component of professional association strategy
Ten years ago we conducted a study designed to understand the value of project management certification processes to
individuals making the decision to seek certified project manager status This information provided important insights into
the value placed on certification by the individuals that choose to take this step
We are conducting a follow up survey which will provide important insight into how perceptions and attitudes towards
certification have changed over the last decade Comparing the responses over a decade apart will make a unique
contribution to our understanding of the development of project management over this period
We would really appreciate it if you would participate in this study The following link will take you directly to the survey
We anticipate that it will take between 15 and 45 minutes to complete httpswwwsurveymonkeycomsDZ2TB9R
If you are interested you can sign up at the end of the survey to receive an executive summary of the study findings and for
a draw prize for participants
We thank you for your time and hope you will choose to be a part of this exciting study
Sincerely
Tomas Blomquist PhD UMEA University

Verslag Game Academy Softskills actviteiten Mei ndash Juli (in
Dutch) Geachte heren en dames de afgelopen weken hebben wij in samenwerking met drie leden van PMI
gewerkt aan Softskills Wij zijn Rene Vielvoije Jeffry Turfboer en Kim van Rens inmiddels dank
verschuldigd voor hun eerste inzet Na een oproep in het Chapter Newletter zijn wij in een
workshop aan de slag gegaan om de contouren van het werk dat ons te wachten staat vast te
stellen Rene kon daar niet bijzijn en de vierde vrijwilligerster gaf aan dat er te veel werk was om
deze activiteit erbij te doen Helaas een vrouwelijke touch was leuk geweest
In een workshop op 29 juni in Utrecht onder aanwezigheid van Jan Jaap Severs van Grendel Games
hebben we van onze kant de vraag ten aanzien van de game en waar we staan en wat we nodig
hebben diepgaand uitgelegd De inbreng is tweeledig
- Een PMI projectmanagement laag in de game voor de doelgroep junior
projectmanagers
- Herkenbare PMI hardskills gerelateerd aan de PMBOK in de game
Ook zijn de beperkingen besproken er is al een gamesetting een scene en studio opnames met
een acteur Een stuk dialoog ligt al vast En we hebben tot december dus tijdsdruk en creatieve invulling
We hebben vastgesteld dat twee zaken minimaal in de game terug moeten komen
De basis PMI values
- Responsibility
- Respect
- Fairness
- Honesty
Een aantal drietal elementen van de PMBOK die passen bij de gamesituatie 2) Lessons learned zelfreflectie
3) Gebruik van projectplan WBS =gt riskassesment en report
4) Delegeren
Naar aanleiding hiervan zijn Jeffry en Kim zich gaan buigen over het script en de situaties Kim heeft donderdag 31 juli een
bezoek gebracht aan de gamestudio van Grendel Games in Leeuwarden en daar het volgende verslag van gemaakt
Laat ik beginnen dat ik bijzonder gastvrij ben ontvangen en dat de koffie en super was Daarnaast is hun locatie echt heel
bijzonder Dit moet je zelf zien en kan ik niet in woorden omschrijven Maar daar ging het natuurlijk niet om
Met Tim Laning en Anne Draaisma heb ik kunnen sparren over de Game SoftSkills Dit was erg waardevol om de juiste input
te kunnen leveren Ook heeft Anne mij de game laten zen voor zover dit mogelijk was Voor jullie beeldvorming Anne is
product owner en daarmee verantwoordelijk voor het bewaken van de voortgang Zijn team is nu bezig met het grafisch
uitwerken en het beschikbaar krijgen van de mocap (Motion Capturing) opnames Hierbij dienen verschillende
softwarepakket ingezet te worden om de gezichtsuitdrukkingen en de lichaamsbewegingen samen te voegen tot een
eenheid Dit kent nog enkele hindernissen maar ik begrijp dat afgelopen week progressie heeft gemaakt
De belangrijke aspecten voor ons dan
Omdat de mocap data reeds vast ligt kunnen we aan het script van Ingrid de tegenspeelster niets veranderen Wel kunnen
we gebruik maken van een intercom oid die input kan leveren aan de hoofdrolspeler Aaron De tekst van Aaron kan dus
ook aangepast worden zolang het maar een logisch verband houd met de antwoorden aan Ingrid
Er zal voor ongeveer 10 minuten script geschreven dienen te worden Het betreft slechts 1 scenario Het komt er op neer dat
Ingrid de reactorkern in zal moeten De vraag is hoe na het oplossen van dit probleem de relatie tussen Ingrid en Aaron is
Dit zal impact hebben in het verdere verloop van het spel Dit verdere verloop is GEEN onderdeel van de pilot die eind dit jaar
(Q4) gereed moet zijn
Het is dus belangrijk voor ons om het PMI aspect in eacuteeacuten scenario zo sterk mogelijk naar voren te laten komen waarmee we
aan onze groep deze game kunnen lsquoverkopenrsquo Er vanuit gaande dat dit traject een vervolg krijgt kan extra input voor scripts
mogelijk waardevol zijn (hoewel hier meer technische belemmeringen zijn dan bij het opzetten van meerdere scripts)
Als we in onze scripts aan kunnen geven of iets aansluit bij het PMI - gedachtegoed dan kunnen de programmeurs dit
omzetten in een puntenscore en kan dit tot uiting komen in de score

In de maand september gaan we verder met het concretiseren van scripts visualisatie daarvan inpassen in de gameplay
etc Daarnaast zoeken we samen met Kim en Jeffry en ons netwerk naar mensen die softskills aspecten zoals de Roos van
Leary die we gebruiken wetenschappelijk kunnen helpen staven
The Softskills project The Softskills project is thanks to the contributions from PMI members Rene Vielvoije Kim van
Rens and Jeffry Turfboer underway to have new project management features added We from
M-engaged and Grendel Games (wwwgrendel-gamescom) are working with the PMI members
in adding PMBOK rules and PMI values to the game The focus is on supporting junior project
managers
The Softskills project has several research aspects which include the RampD on motion capture
technologies the way softskills can be added to a game character (we used the Rose of Leary
for that one) and last but not least to incorporate soft skills in PM situations Because itrsquos an
applied game it also must be fun to play So we already set the scene (you are running a group
of technicians on a Research Institute far away in the Galaxy) and a piece of the station is
melting
You as a player have to get
your best team member in the
reaction room to fix the
problem You can have help
lines (and intercom) and most
likely can have help from pads
or other tools
The game character Karin is
created using motion capture
techniques which enables the
game developers to let her act
any way they like in the game
This part of the project is
energetic and complex It
involves cleaning and
moulding the data from the
motion capture session create a skin add human expressions to it design something to wear (a spacesuit of course) etc
etc
The task for the PMI members is to add project management value to this scene In July Kim has visited the Grendel
Gamestudio in the old prison in Leeuwarden the Blokhuispoort Kim and Jeffry already came up with some great ideas
involving the use of PMBOK Risk Management adding score to the dialog using the PMI values Also using the intercom to
help the player (if he asks for it will give extra points) with the situation and giving feedback Another useful add-on will be a
pad the player can use to see for example the character profile or add comments to a risk log
Kim and Jeffry are now getting involved in the process of game (non-linear) scriptwriting Nice for their curriculum

Presidentrsquos Column
While I was on holiday the terrible news of MH17 reached me How horrible
were the first TV shots of the disaster scenery How impressive and respectful
were the arrival of the deceased at Eindhoven airport The Chapter thus far did
not receive any messages about direct involvement of any of our members
Nevertheless with 900+ members most likely members are engaged indirectly
with many of the victims their relatives friends colleagues neighbours and
others that were close At least I am Two people in my small village died in this
terrible and unbelievable disaster Did I know them Not really but the
opportunity to get to know each other is brutally taken away from them from
me from you Why I donrsquot know and I donrsquot understand What I do know is
that our chapter community mourns in silence and with deep respect for the victims and all those
that were close
Our community mourns around the globe as the warm words from Becky Winston received by e-mail
show ldquoMy deepest sympathies to the Netherlands on the horrific loss of life suffered with the
Malaysian Airline 17 tragic act To think the world has loss great minds in the fight on AIDsHIV and
other life that was positive and contributing is unthinkable The world mournsrdquo (Becky Winston
Past PMI Board Chair 2002 Fellow PMI)
Healing those deep wounds will take a lot of time while it will never be the same again The Chapterrsquos
warmest sympathies are with you

This time Irsquod like to start my update to you PMI NL Chapter members with another
request to help us to identify whether your organization could host one of our chapter

of our great sessions at your company In other words we struggle a bit to get free
access to meeting locations with room for approx 50 ndash 100 people (already if 50 persons
would fit in)
Your help will be much appreciated

A survey on PM certification Project Management certification continues at an increasing rate around the world Certification is a very important
component of professional practice and is a vital component of professional association strategy
Ten years ago we conducted a study designed to understand the value of project management certification processes to
individuals making the decision to seek certified project manager status This information provided important insights into
the value placed on certification by the individuals that choose to take this step
We are conducting a follow up survey which will provide important insight into how perceptions and attitudes towards
certification have changed over the last decade Comparing the responses over a decade apart will make a unique
contribution to our understanding of the development of project management over this period
We would really appreciate it if you would participate in this study The following link will take you directly to the survey
We anticipate that it will take between 15 and 45 minutes to complete httpswwwsurveymonkeycomsDZ2TB9R
If you are interested you can sign up at the end of the survey to receive an executive summary of the study findings and for
a draw prize for participants
We thank you for your time and hope you will choose to be a part of this exciting study

Verslag Game Academy Softskills actviteiten Mei ndash Juli (in
Dutch) Geachte heren en dames de afgelopen weken hebben wij in samenwerking met drie leden van PMI
gewerkt aan Softskills Wij zijn Rene Vielvoije Jeffry Turfboer en Kim van Rens inmiddels dank
verschuldigd voor hun eerste inzet Na een oproep in het Chapter Newletter zijn wij in een
workshop aan de slag gegaan om de contouren van het werk dat ons te wachten staat vast te
stellen Rene kon daar niet bijzijn en de vierde vrijwilligerster gaf aan dat er te veel werk was om
deze activiteit erbij te doen Helaas een vrouwelijke touch was leuk geweest
In een workshop op 29 juni in Utrecht onder aanwezigheid van Jan Jaap Severs van Grendel Games
hebben we van onze kant de vraag ten aanzien van de game en waar we staan en wat we nodig
hebben diepgaand uitgelegd De inbreng is tweeledig
- Een PMI projectmanagement laag in de game voor de doelgroep junior
projectmanagers
- Herkenbare PMI hardskills gerelateerd aan de PMBOK in de game
Ook zijn de beperkingen besproken er is al een gamesetting een scene en studio opnames met
een acteur Een stuk dialoog ligt al vast En we hebben tot december dus tijdsdruk en creatieve invulling
We hebben vastgesteld dat twee zaken minimaal in de game terug moeten komen
De basis PMI values
- Responsibility
- Respect
- Fairness
- Honesty
Een aantal drietal elementen van de PMBOK die passen bij de gamesituatie 2) Lessons learned zelfreflectie
3) Gebruik van projectplan WBS =gt riskassesment en report
4) Delegeren
Naar aanleiding hiervan zijn Jeffry en Kim zich gaan buigen over het script en de situaties Kim heeft donderdag 31 juli een
bezoek gebracht aan de gamestudio van Grendel Games in Leeuwarden en daar het volgende verslag van gemaakt
Laat ik beginnen dat ik bijzonder gastvrij ben ontvangen en dat de koffie en super was Daarnaast is hun locatie echt heel
bijzonder Dit moet je zelf zien en kan ik niet in woorden omschrijven Maar daar ging het natuurlijk niet om
Met Tim Laning en Anne Draaisma heb ik kunnen sparren over de Game SoftSkills Dit was erg waardevol om de juiste input
te kunnen leveren Ook heeft Anne mij de game laten zen voor zover dit mogelijk was Voor jullie beeldvorming Anne is
product owner en daarmee verantwoordelijk voor het bewaken van de voortgang Zijn team is nu bezig met het grafisch
uitwerken en het beschikbaar krijgen van de mocap (Motion Capturing) opnames Hierbij dienen verschillende
softwarepakket ingezet te worden om de gezichtsuitdrukkingen en de lichaamsbewegingen samen te voegen tot een
eenheid Dit kent nog enkele hindernissen maar ik begrijp dat afgelopen week progressie heeft gemaakt
De belangrijke aspecten voor ons dan
Omdat de mocap data reeds vast ligt kunnen we aan het script van Ingrid de tegenspeelster niets veranderen Wel kunnen
we gebruik maken van een intercom oid die input kan leveren aan de hoofdrolspeler Aaron De tekst van Aaron kan dus
ook aangepast worden zolang het maar een logisch verband houd met de antwoorden aan Ingrid
Er zal voor ongeveer 10 minuten script geschreven dienen te worden Het betreft slechts 1 scenario Het komt er op neer dat
Ingrid de reactorkern in zal moeten De vraag is hoe na het oplossen van dit probleem de relatie tussen Ingrid en Aaron is
Dit zal impact hebben in het verdere verloop van het spel Dit verdere verloop is GEEN onderdeel van de pilot die eind dit jaar
(Q4) gereed moet zijn
Het is dus belangrijk voor ons om het PMI aspect in eacuteeacuten scenario zo sterk mogelijk naar voren te laten komen waarmee we
aan onze groep deze game kunnen lsquoverkopenrsquo Er vanuit gaande dat dit traject een vervolg krijgt kan extra input voor scripts
mogelijk waardevol zijn (hoewel hier meer technische belemmeringen zijn dan bij het opzetten van meerdere scripts)
Als we in onze scripts aan kunnen geven of iets aansluit bij het PMI - gedachtegoed dan kunnen de programmeurs dit
omzetten in een puntenscore en kan dit tot uiting komen in de score

In de maand september gaan we verder met het concretiseren van scripts visualisatie daarvan inpassen in de gameplay
etc Daarnaast zoeken we samen met Kim en Jeffry en ons netwerk naar mensen die softskills aspecten zoals de Roos van
Leary die we gebruiken wetenschappelijk kunnen helpen staven
The Softskills project The Softskills project is thanks to the contributions from PMI members Rene Vielvoije Kim van
Rens and Jeffry Turfboer underway to have new project management features added We from
M-engaged and Grendel Games (wwwgrendel-gamescom) are working with the PMI members
in adding PMBOK rules and PMI values to the game The focus is on supporting junior project
managers
The Softskills project has several research aspects which include the RampD on motion capture
technologies the way softskills can be added to a game character (we used the Rose of Leary
for that one) and last but not least to incorporate soft skills in PM situations Because itrsquos an
applied game it also must be fun to play So we already set the scene (you are running a group
of technicians on a Research Institute far away in the Galaxy) and a piece of the station is
melting
You as a player have to get
your best team member in the
reaction room to fix the
problem You can have help
lines (and intercom) and most
likely can have help from pads
or other tools
The game character Karin is
created using motion capture
techniques which enables the
game developers to let her act
any way they like in the game
This part of the project is
energetic and complex It
involves cleaning and
moulding the data from the
motion capture session create a skin add human expressions to it design something to wear (a spacesuit of course) etc
etc
The task for the PMI members is to add project management value to this scene In July Kim has visited the Grendel
Gamestudio in the old prison in Leeuwarden the Blokhuispoort Kim and Jeffry already came up with some great ideas
involving the use of PMBOK Risk Management adding score to the dialog using the PMI values Also using the intercom to
help the player (if he asks for it will give extra points) with the situation and giving feedback Another useful add-on will be a
pad the player can use to see for example the character profile or add comments to a risk log
Kim and Jeffry are now getting involved in the process of game (non-linear) scriptwriting Nice for their curriculum

Presidentrsquos Column
While I was on holiday the terrible news of MH17 reached me How horrible
were the first TV shots of the disaster scenery How impressive and respectful
were the arrival of the deceased at Eindhoven airport The Chapter thus far did
not receive any messages about direct involvement of any of our members
Nevertheless with 900+ members most likely members are engaged indirectly
with many of the victims their relatives friends colleagues neighbours and
others that were close At least I am Two people in my small village died in this
terrible and unbelievable disaster Did I know them Not really but the
opportunity to get to know each other is brutally taken away from them from
me from you Why I donrsquot know and I donrsquot understand What I do know is
that our chapter community mourns in silence and with deep respect for the victims and all those
that were close
Our community mourns around the globe as the warm words from Becky Winston received by e-mail
show ldquoMy deepest sympathies to the Netherlands on the horrific loss of life suffered with the
Malaysian Airline 17 tragic act To think the world has loss great minds in the fight on AIDsHIV and
other life that was positive and contributing is unthinkable The world mournsrdquo (Becky Winston
Past PMI Board Chair 2002 Fellow PMI)
Healing those deep wounds will take a lot of time while it will never be the same again The Chapterrsquos
warmest sympathies are with you

A survey on PM certification Project Management certification continues at an increasing rate around the world Certification is a very important
component of professional practice and is a vital component of professional association strategy
Ten years ago we conducted a study designed to understand the value of project management certification processes to
individuals making the decision to seek certified project manager status This information provided important insights into
the value placed on certification by the individuals that choose to take this step
We are conducting a follow up survey which will provide important insight into how perceptions and attitudes towards
certification have changed over the last decade Comparing the responses over a decade apart will make a unique
contribution to our understanding of the development of project management over this period
We would really appreciate it if you would participate in this study The following link will take you directly to the survey
We anticipate that it will take between 15 and 45 minutes to complete httpswwwsurveymonkeycomsDZ2TB9R
If you are interested you can sign up at the end of the survey to receive an executive summary of the study findings and for
a draw prize for participants
We thank you for your time and hope you will choose to be a part of this exciting study

Tomas Blomquist PhD UMEA University

Verslag Game Academy Softskills actviteiten Mei ndash Juli (in
Dutch) Geachte heren en dames de afgelopen weken hebben wij in samenwerking met drie leden van PMI
gewerkt aan Softskills Wij zijn Rene Vielvoije Jeffry Turfboer en Kim van Rens inmiddels dank
verschuldigd voor hun eerste inzet Na een oproep in het Chapter Newletter zijn wij in een
workshop aan de slag gegaan om de contouren van het werk dat ons te wachten staat vast te
stellen Rene kon daar niet bijzijn en de vierde vrijwilligerster gaf aan dat er te veel werk was om
deze activiteit erbij te doen Helaas een vrouwelijke touch was leuk geweest
In een workshop op 29 juni in Utrecht onder aanwezigheid van Jan Jaap Severs van Grendel Games
hebben we van onze kant de vraag ten aanzien van de game en waar we staan en wat we nodig
hebben diepgaand uitgelegd De inbreng is tweeledig
- Een PMI projectmanagement laag in de game voor de doelgroep junior
projectmanagers
- Herkenbare PMI hardskills gerelateerd aan de PMBOK in de game
Ook zijn de beperkingen besproken er is al een gamesetting een scene en studio opnames met
een acteur Een stuk dialoog ligt al vast En we hebben tot december dus tijdsdruk en creatieve invulling
We hebben vastgesteld dat twee zaken minimaal in de game terug moeten komen
De basis PMI values
- Responsibility
- Respect
- Fairness
- Honesty
Een aantal drietal elementen van de PMBOK die passen bij de gamesituatie 2) Lessons learned zelfreflectie
3) Gebruik van projectplan WBS =gt riskassesment en report
4) Delegeren
Naar aanleiding hiervan zijn Jeffry en Kim zich gaan buigen over het script en de situaties Kim heeft donderdag 31 juli een
bezoek gebracht aan de gamestudio van Grendel Games in Leeuwarden en daar het volgende verslag van gemaakt
Laat ik beginnen dat ik bijzonder gastvrij ben ontvangen en dat de koffie en super was Daarnaast is hun locatie echt heel
bijzonder Dit moet je zelf zien en kan ik niet in woorden omschrijven Maar daar ging het natuurlijk niet om
Met Tim Laning en Anne Draaisma heb ik kunnen sparren over de Game SoftSkills Dit was erg waardevol om de juiste input
te kunnen leveren Ook heeft Anne mij de game laten zen voor zover dit mogelijk was Voor jullie beeldvorming Anne is
product owner en daarmee verantwoordelijk voor het bewaken van de voortgang Zijn team is nu bezig met het grafisch
uitwerken en het beschikbaar krijgen van de mocap (Motion Capturing) opnames Hierbij dienen verschillende
softwarepakket ingezet te worden om de gezichtsuitdrukkingen en de lichaamsbewegingen samen te voegen tot een
eenheid Dit kent nog enkele hindernissen maar ik begrijp dat afgelopen week progressie heeft gemaakt
De belangrijke aspecten voor ons dan
Omdat de mocap data reeds vast ligt kunnen we aan het script van Ingrid de tegenspeelster niets veranderen Wel kunnen
we gebruik maken van een intercom oid die input kan leveren aan de hoofdrolspeler Aaron De tekst van Aaron kan dus
ook aangepast worden zolang het maar een logisch verband houd met de antwoorden aan Ingrid
Er zal voor ongeveer 10 minuten script geschreven dienen te worden Het betreft slechts 1 scenario Het komt er op neer dat
Ingrid de reactorkern in zal moeten De vraag is hoe na het oplossen van dit probleem de relatie tussen Ingrid en Aaron is
Dit zal impact hebben in het verdere verloop van het spel Dit verdere verloop is GEEN onderdeel van de pilot die eind dit jaar
(Q4) gereed moet zijn
Het is dus belangrijk voor ons om het PMI aspect in eacuteeacuten scenario zo sterk mogelijk naar voren te laten komen waarmee we
aan onze groep deze game kunnen lsquoverkopenrsquo Er vanuit gaande dat dit traject een vervolg krijgt kan extra input voor scripts
mogelijk waardevol zijn (hoewel hier meer technische belemmeringen zijn dan bij het opzetten van meerdere scripts)
Als we in onze scripts aan kunnen geven of iets aansluit bij het PMI - gedachtegoed dan kunnen de programmeurs dit
omzetten in een puntenscore en kan dit tot uiting komen in de score

In de maand september gaan we verder met het concretiseren van scripts visualisatie daarvan inpassen in de gameplay
etc Daarnaast zoeken we samen met Kim en Jeffry en ons netwerk naar mensen die softskills aspecten zoals de Roos van
Leary die we gebruiken wetenschappelijk kunnen helpen staven
The Softskills project The Softskills project is thanks to the contributions from PMI members Rene Vielvoije Kim van
Rens and Jeffry Turfboer underway to have new project management features added We from
M-engaged and Grendel Games (wwwgrendel-gamescom) are working with the PMI members
in adding PMBOK rules and PMI values to the game The focus is on supporting junior project
managers
The Softskills project has several research aspects which include the RampD on motion capture
technologies the way softskills can be added to a game character (we used the Rose of Leary
for that one) and last but not least to incorporate soft skills in PM situations Because itrsquos an
applied game it also must be fun to play So we already set the scene (you are running a group
of technicians on a Research Institute far away in the Galaxy) and a piece of the station is
melting
You as a player have to get
your best team member in the
reaction room to fix the
problem You can have help
lines (and intercom) and most
likely can have help from pads
or other tools
The game character Karin is
created using motion capture
techniques which enables the
game developers to let her act
any way they like in the game
This part of the project is
energetic and complex It
involves cleaning and
moulding the data from the
motion capture session create a skin add human expressions to it design something to wear (a spacesuit of course) etc
etc
The task for the PMI members is to add project management value to this scene In July Kim has visited the Grendel
Gamestudio in the old prison in Leeuwarden the Blokhuispoort Kim and Jeffry already came up with some great ideas
involving the use of PMBOK Risk Management adding score to the dialog using the PMI values Also using the intercom to
help the player (if he asks for it will give extra points) with the situation and giving feedback Another useful add-on will be a
pad the player can use to see for example the character profile or add comments to a risk log
Kim and Jeffry are now getting involved in the process of game (non-linear) scriptwriting Nice for their curriculum

access to meeting locations with room for approx 50 ndash 100 people (already if 50 persons
would fit in)
Your help will be much appreciated

A survey on PM certification Project Management certification continues at an increasing rate around the world Certification is a very important
component of professional practice and is a vital component of professional association strategy
Ten years ago we conducted a study designed to understand the value of project management certification processes to
individuals making the decision to seek certified project manager status This information provided important insights into
the value placed on certification by the individuals that choose to take this step
We are conducting a follow up survey which will provide important insight into how perceptions and attitudes towards
certification have changed over the last decade Comparing the responses over a decade apart will make a unique
contribution to our understanding of the development of project management over this period
We would really appreciate it if you would participate in this study The following link will take you directly to the survey
We anticipate that it will take between 15 and 45 minutes to complete httpswwwsurveymonkeycomsDZ2TB9R
If you are interested you can sign up at the end of the survey to receive an executive summary of the study findings and for
a draw prize for participants
We thank you for your time and hope you will choose to be a part of this exciting study

Verslag Game Academy Softskills actviteiten Mei ndash Juli (in
Dutch) Geachte heren en dames de afgelopen weken hebben wij in samenwerking met drie leden van PMI
gewerkt aan Softskills Wij zijn Rene Vielvoije Jeffry Turfboer en Kim van Rens inmiddels dank
verschuldigd voor hun eerste inzet Na een oproep in het Chapter Newletter zijn wij in een
workshop aan de slag gegaan om de contouren van het werk dat ons te wachten staat vast te
stellen Rene kon daar niet bijzijn en de vierde vrijwilligerster gaf aan dat er te veel werk was om
deze activiteit erbij te doen Helaas een vrouwelijke touch was leuk geweest
In een workshop op 29 juni in Utrecht onder aanwezigheid van Jan Jaap Severs van Grendel Games
hebben we van onze kant de vraag ten aanzien van de game en waar we staan en wat we nodig
hebben diepgaand uitgelegd De inbreng is tweeledig
- Een PMI projectmanagement laag in de game voor de doelgroep junior
projectmanagers
- Herkenbare PMI hardskills gerelateerd aan de PMBOK in de game
Ook zijn de beperkingen besproken er is al een gamesetting een scene en studio opnames met
een acteur Een stuk dialoog ligt al vast En we hebben tot december dus tijdsdruk en creatieve invulling
We hebben vastgesteld dat twee zaken minimaal in de game terug moeten komen
De basis PMI values
- Responsibility
- Respect
- Fairness
- Honesty
Een aantal drietal elementen van de PMBOK die passen bij de gamesituatie 2) Lessons learned zelfreflectie
3) Gebruik van projectplan WBS =gt riskassesment en report
4) Delegeren
Naar aanleiding hiervan zijn Jeffry en Kim zich gaan buigen over het script en de situaties Kim heeft donderdag 31 juli een
bezoek gebracht aan de gamestudio van Grendel Games in Leeuwarden en daar het volgende verslag van gemaakt
Laat ik beginnen dat ik bijzonder gastvrij ben ontvangen en dat de koffie en super was Daarnaast is hun locatie echt heel
bijzonder Dit moet je zelf zien en kan ik niet in woorden omschrijven Maar daar ging het natuurlijk niet om
Met Tim Laning en Anne Draaisma heb ik kunnen sparren over de Game SoftSkills Dit was erg waardevol om de juiste input
te kunnen leveren Ook heeft Anne mij de game laten zen voor zover dit mogelijk was Voor jullie beeldvorming Anne is
product owner en daarmee verantwoordelijk voor het bewaken van de voortgang Zijn team is nu bezig met het grafisch
uitwerken en het beschikbaar krijgen van de mocap (Motion Capturing) opnames Hierbij dienen verschillende
softwarepakket ingezet te worden om de gezichtsuitdrukkingen en de lichaamsbewegingen samen te voegen tot een
eenheid Dit kent nog enkele hindernissen maar ik begrijp dat afgelopen week progressie heeft gemaakt
De belangrijke aspecten voor ons dan
Omdat de mocap data reeds vast ligt kunnen we aan het script van Ingrid de tegenspeelster niets veranderen Wel kunnen
we gebruik maken van een intercom oid die input kan leveren aan de hoofdrolspeler Aaron De tekst van Aaron kan dus
ook aangepast worden zolang het maar een logisch verband houd met de antwoorden aan Ingrid
Er zal voor ongeveer 10 minuten script geschreven dienen te worden Het betreft slechts 1 scenario Het komt er op neer dat
Ingrid de reactorkern in zal moeten De vraag is hoe na het oplossen van dit probleem de relatie tussen Ingrid en Aaron is
Dit zal impact hebben in het verdere verloop van het spel Dit verdere verloop is GEEN onderdeel van de pilot die eind dit jaar
(Q4) gereed moet zijn
Het is dus belangrijk voor ons om het PMI aspect in eacuteeacuten scenario zo sterk mogelijk naar voren te laten komen waarmee we
aan onze groep deze game kunnen lsquoverkopenrsquo Er vanuit gaande dat dit traject een vervolg krijgt kan extra input voor scripts
mogelijk waardevol zijn (hoewel hier meer technische belemmeringen zijn dan bij het opzetten van meerdere scripts)
Als we in onze scripts aan kunnen geven of iets aansluit bij het PMI - gedachtegoed dan kunnen de programmeurs dit
omzetten in een puntenscore en kan dit tot uiting komen in de score

In de maand september gaan we verder met het concretiseren van scripts visualisatie daarvan inpassen in de gameplay
etc Daarnaast zoeken we samen met Kim en Jeffry en ons netwerk naar mensen die softskills aspecten zoals de Roos van
Leary die we gebruiken wetenschappelijk kunnen helpen staven
The Softskills project The Softskills project is thanks to the contributions from PMI members Rene Vielvoije Kim van
Rens and Jeffry Turfboer underway to have new project management features added We from
M-engaged and Grendel Games (wwwgrendel-gamescom) are working with the PMI members
in adding PMBOK rules and PMI values to the game The focus is on supporting junior project
managers
The Softskills project has several research aspects which include the RampD on motion capture
technologies the way softskills can be added to a game character (we used the Rose of Leary
for that one) and last but not least to incorporate soft skills in PM situations Because itrsquos an
applied game it also must be fun to play So we already set the scene (you are running a group
of technicians on a Research Institute far away in the Galaxy) and a piece of the station is
melting
You as a player have to get
your best team member in the
reaction room to fix the
problem You can have help
lines (and intercom) and most
likely can have help from pads
or other tools
The game character Karin is
created using motion capture
techniques which enables the
game developers to let her act
any way they like in the game
This part of the project is
energetic and complex It
involves cleaning and
moulding the data from the
motion capture session create a skin add human expressions to it design something to wear (a spacesuit of course) etc
etc
The task for the PMI members is to add project management value to this scene In July Kim has visited the Grendel
Gamestudio in the old prison in Leeuwarden the Blokhuispoort Kim and Jeffry already came up with some great ideas
involving the use of PMBOK Risk Management adding score to the dialog using the PMI values Also using the intercom to
help the player (if he asks for it will give extra points) with the situation and giving feedback Another useful add-on will be a
pad the player can use to see for example the character profile or add comments to a risk log
Kim and Jeffry are now getting involved in the process of game (non-linear) scriptwriting Nice for their curriculum

would fit in)

applied game it also must be fun to play So we already set the scene (you are running a group
of technicians on a Research Institute far away in the Galaxy) and a piece of the station is
melting
You as a player have to get
your best team member in the
reaction room to fix the
problem You can have help
lines (and intercom) and most
likely can have help from pads
or other tools
The game character Karin is
created using motion capture
techniques which enables the
game developers to let her act
any way they like in the game
This part of the project is
energetic and complex It
involves cleaning and
moulding the data from the
motion capture session create a skin add human expressions to it design something to wear (a spacesuit of course) etc
etc
The task for the PMI members is to add project management value to this scene In July Kim has visited the Grendel
Gamestudio in the old prison in Leeuwarden the Blokhuispoort Kim and Jeffry already came up with some great ideas
involving the use of PMBOK Risk Management adding score to the dialog using the PMI values Also using the intercom to
help the player (if he asks for it will give extra points) with the situation and giving feedback Another useful add-on will be a
pad the player can use to see for example the character profile or add comments to a risk log
Kim and Jeffry are now getting involved in the process of game (non-linear) scriptwriting Nice for their curriculum

A survey on PM certification Project Management certification continues at an increasing rate around the world Certification is a very important
component of professional practice and is a vital component of professional association strategy
Ten years ago we conducted a study designed to understand the value of project management certification processes to
individuals making the decision to seek certified project manager status This information provided important insights into
the value placed on certification by the individuals that choose to take this step
We are conducting a follow up survey which will provide important insight into how perceptions and attitudes towards
certification have changed over the last decade Comparing the responses over a decade apart will make a unique
contribution to our understanding of the development of project management over this period
We would really appreciate it if you would participate in this study The following link will take you directly to the survey
We anticipate that it will take between 15 and 45 minutes to complete httpswwwsurveymonkeycomsDZ2TB9R
If you are interested you can sign up at the end of the survey to receive an executive summary of the study findings and for
a draw prize for participants
We thank you for your time and hope you will choose to be a part of this exciting study

Verslag Game Academy Softskills actviteiten Mei ndash Juli (in
Dutch) Geachte heren en dames de afgelopen weken hebben wij in samenwerking met drie leden van PMI
gewerkt aan Softskills Wij zijn Rene Vielvoije Jeffry Turfboer en Kim van Rens inmiddels dank
verschuldigd voor hun eerste inzet Na een oproep in het Chapter Newletter zijn wij in een
workshop aan de slag gegaan om de contouren van het werk dat ons te wachten staat vast te
stellen Rene kon daar niet bijzijn en de vierde vrijwilligerster gaf aan dat er te veel werk was om
deze activiteit erbij te doen Helaas een vrouwelijke touch was leuk geweest
In een workshop op 29 juni in Utrecht onder aanwezigheid van Jan Jaap Severs van Grendel Games
hebben we van onze kant de vraag ten aanzien van de game en waar we staan en wat we nodig
hebben diepgaand uitgelegd De inbreng is tweeledig
- Een PMI projectmanagement laag in de game voor de doelgroep junior
projectmanagers
- Herkenbare PMI hardskills gerelateerd aan de PMBOK in de game
Ook zijn de beperkingen besproken er is al een gamesetting een scene en studio opnames met
een acteur Een stuk dialoog ligt al vast En we hebben tot december dus tijdsdruk en creatieve invulling
We hebben vastgesteld dat twee zaken minimaal in de game terug moeten komen
De basis PMI values
- Responsibility
- Respect
- Fairness
- Honesty
Een aantal drietal elementen van de PMBOK die passen bij de gamesituatie 2) Lessons learned zelfreflectie
3) Gebruik van projectplan WBS =gt riskassesment en report
4) Delegeren
Naar aanleiding hiervan zijn Jeffry en Kim zich gaan buigen over het script en de situaties Kim heeft donderdag 31 juli een
bezoek gebracht aan de gamestudio van Grendel Games in Leeuwarden en daar het volgende verslag van gemaakt
Laat ik beginnen dat ik bijzonder gastvrij ben ontvangen en dat de koffie en super was Daarnaast is hun locatie echt heel
bijzonder Dit moet je zelf zien en kan ik niet in woorden omschrijven Maar daar ging het natuurlijk niet om
Met Tim Laning en Anne Draaisma heb ik kunnen sparren over de Game SoftSkills Dit was erg waardevol om de juiste input
te kunnen leveren Ook heeft Anne mij de game laten zen voor zover dit mogelijk was Voor jullie beeldvorming Anne is
product owner en daarmee verantwoordelijk voor het bewaken van de voortgang Zijn team is nu bezig met het grafisch
uitwerken en het beschikbaar krijgen van de mocap (Motion Capturing) opnames Hierbij dienen verschillende
softwarepakket ingezet te worden om de gezichtsuitdrukkingen en de lichaamsbewegingen samen te voegen tot een
eenheid Dit kent nog enkele hindernissen maar ik begrijp dat afgelopen week progressie heeft gemaakt
De belangrijke aspecten voor ons dan
Omdat de mocap data reeds vast ligt kunnen we aan het script van Ingrid de tegenspeelster niets veranderen Wel kunnen
we gebruik maken van een intercom oid die input kan leveren aan de hoofdrolspeler Aaron De tekst van Aaron kan dus
ook aangepast worden zolang het maar een logisch verband houd met de antwoorden aan Ingrid
Er zal voor ongeveer 10 minuten script geschreven dienen te worden Het betreft slechts 1 scenario Het komt er op neer dat
Ingrid de reactorkern in zal moeten De vraag is hoe na het oplossen van dit probleem de relatie tussen Ingrid en Aaron is
Dit zal impact hebben in het verdere verloop van het spel Dit verdere verloop is GEEN onderdeel van de pilot die eind dit jaar
(Q4) gereed moet zijn
Het is dus belangrijk voor ons om het PMI aspect in eacuteeacuten scenario zo sterk mogelijk naar voren te laten komen waarmee we
aan onze groep deze game kunnen lsquoverkopenrsquo Er vanuit gaande dat dit traject een vervolg krijgt kan extra input voor scripts
mogelijk waardevol zijn (hoewel hier meer technische belemmeringen zijn dan bij het opzetten van meerdere scripts)
Als we in onze scripts aan kunnen geven of iets aansluit bij het PMI - gedachtegoed dan kunnen de programmeurs dit
omzetten in een puntenscore en kan dit tot uiting komen in de score

In de maand september gaan we verder met het concretiseren van scripts visualisatie daarvan inpassen in de gameplay
etc Daarnaast zoeken we samen met Kim en Jeffry en ons netwerk naar mensen die softskills aspecten zoals de Roos van
Leary die we gebruiken wetenschappelijk kunnen helpen staven
The Softskills project The Softskills project is thanks to the contributions from PMI members Rene Vielvoije Kim van
Rens and Jeffry Turfboer underway to have new project management features added We from
M-engaged and Grendel Games (wwwgrendel-gamescom) are working with the PMI members
in adding PMBOK rules and PMI values to the game The focus is on supporting junior project
managers
The Softskills project has several research aspects which include the RampD on motion capture
technologies the way softskills can be added to a game character (we used the Rose of Leary
for that one) and last but not least to incorporate soft skills in PM situations Because itrsquos an
applied game it also must be fun to play So we already set the scene (you are running a group
of technicians on a Research Institute far away in the Galaxy) and a piece of the station is
melting
You as a player have to get
your best team member in the
reaction room to fix the
problem You can have help
lines (and intercom) and most
likely can have help from pads
or other tools
The game character Karin is
created using motion capture
techniques which enables the
game developers to let her act
any way they like in the game
This part of the project is
energetic and complex It
involves cleaning and
moulding the data from the
motion capture session create a skin add human expressions to it design something to wear (a spacesuit of course) etc
etc
The task for the PMI members is to add project management value to this scene In July Kim has visited the Grendel

A survey on PM certification Project Management certification continues at an increasing rate around the world Certification is a very important
component of professional practice and is a vital component of professional association strategy
Ten years ago we conducted a study designed to understand the value of project management certification processes to
individuals making the decision to seek certified project manager status This information provided important insights into
the value placed on certification by the individuals that choose to take this step
We are conducting a follow up survey which will provide important insight into how perceptions and attitudes towards
certification have changed over the last decade Comparing the responses over a decade apart will make a unique
contribution to our understanding of the development of project management over this period
We would really appreciate it if you would participate in this study The following link will take you directly to the survey
We anticipate that it will take between 15 and 45 minutes to complete httpswwwsurveymonkeycomsDZ2TB9R
If you are interested you can sign up at the end of the survey to receive an executive summary of the study findings and for
a draw prize for participants
We thank you for your time and hope you will choose to be a part of this exciting study

Tomas Blomquist PhD UMEA University

Verslag Game Academy Softskills actviteiten Mei ndash Juli (in
Dutch) Geachte heren en dames de afgelopen weken hebben wij in samenwerking met drie leden van PMI
gewerkt aan Softskills Wij zijn Rene Vielvoije Jeffry Turfboer en Kim van Rens inmiddels dank
verschuldigd voor hun eerste inzet Na een oproep in het Chapter Newletter zijn wij in een
workshop aan de slag gegaan om de contouren van het werk dat ons te wachten staat vast te
stellen Rene kon daar niet bijzijn en de vierde vrijwilligerster gaf aan dat er te veel werk was om
deze activiteit erbij te doen Helaas een vrouwelijke touch was leuk geweest
In een workshop op 29 juni in Utrecht onder aanwezigheid van Jan Jaap Severs van Grendel Games
hebben we van onze kant de vraag ten aanzien van de game en waar we staan en wat we nodig
hebben diepgaand uitgelegd De inbreng is tweeledig
- Een PMI projectmanagement laag in de game voor de doelgroep junior
projectmanagers
- Herkenbare PMI hardskills gerelateerd aan de PMBOK in de game
Ook zijn de beperkingen besproken er is al een gamesetting een scene en studio opnames met
een acteur Een stuk dialoog ligt al vast En we hebben tot december dus tijdsdruk en creatieve invulling
We hebben vastgesteld dat twee zaken minimaal in de game terug moeten komen
De basis PMI values
- Responsibility
- Respect
- Fairness
- Honesty
Een aantal drietal elementen van de PMBOK die passen bij de gamesituatie 2) Lessons learned zelfreflectie
3) Gebruik van projectplan WBS =gt riskassesment en report
4) Delegeren
Naar aanleiding hiervan zijn Jeffry en Kim zich gaan buigen over het script en de situaties Kim heeft donderdag 31 juli een
bezoek gebracht aan de gamestudio van Grendel Games in Leeuwarden en daar het volgende verslag van gemaakt
Laat ik beginnen dat ik bijzonder gastvrij ben ontvangen en dat de koffie en super was Daarnaast is hun locatie echt heel
bijzonder Dit moet je zelf zien en kan ik niet in woorden omschrijven Maar daar ging het natuurlijk niet om
Met Tim Laning en Anne Draaisma heb ik kunnen sparren over de Game SoftSkills Dit was erg waardevol om de juiste input
te kunnen leveren Ook heeft Anne mij de game laten zen voor zover dit mogelijk was Voor jullie beeldvorming Anne is
product owner en daarmee verantwoordelijk voor het bewaken van de voortgang Zijn team is nu bezig met het grafisch
uitwerken en het beschikbaar krijgen van de mocap (Motion Capturing) opnames Hierbij dienen verschillende
softwarepakket ingezet te worden om de gezichtsuitdrukkingen en de lichaamsbewegingen samen te voegen tot een
eenheid Dit kent nog enkele hindernissen maar ik begrijp dat afgelopen week progressie heeft gemaakt
De belangrijke aspecten voor ons dan
Omdat de mocap data reeds vast ligt kunnen we aan het script van Ingrid de tegenspeelster niets veranderen Wel kunnen
we gebruik maken van een intercom oid die input kan leveren aan de hoofdrolspeler Aaron De tekst van Aaron kan dus
ook aangepast worden zolang het maar een logisch verband houd met de antwoorden aan Ingrid
Er zal voor ongeveer 10 minuten script geschreven dienen te worden Het betreft slechts 1 scenario Het komt er op neer dat
Ingrid de reactorkern in zal moeten De vraag is hoe na het oplossen van dit probleem de relatie tussen Ingrid en Aaron is
Dit zal impact hebben in het verdere verloop van het spel Dit verdere verloop is GEEN onderdeel van de pilot die eind dit jaar
(Q4) gereed moet zijn
Het is dus belangrijk voor ons om het PMI aspect in eacuteeacuten scenario zo sterk mogelijk naar voren te laten komen waarmee we
aan onze groep deze game kunnen lsquoverkopenrsquo Er vanuit gaande dat dit traject een vervolg krijgt kan extra input voor scripts
mogelijk waardevol zijn (hoewel hier meer technische belemmeringen zijn dan bij het opzetten van meerdere scripts)
Als we in onze scripts aan kunnen geven of iets aansluit bij het PMI - gedachtegoed dan kunnen de programmeurs dit
omzetten in een puntenscore en kan dit tot uiting komen in de score

In de maand september gaan we verder met het concretiseren van scripts visualisatie daarvan inpassen in de gameplay
etc Daarnaast zoeken we samen met Kim en Jeffry en ons netwerk naar mensen die softskills aspecten zoals de Roos van
Leary die we gebruiken wetenschappelijk kunnen helpen staven
The Softskills project The Softskills project is thanks to the contributions from PMI members Rene Vielvoije Kim van
Rens and Jeffry Turfboer underway to have new project management features added We from
M-engaged and Grendel Games (wwwgrendel-gamescom) are working with the PMI members
in adding PMBOK rules and PMI values to the game The focus is on supporting junior project
managers
The Softskills project has several research aspects which include the RampD on motion capture
technologies the way softskills can be added to a game character (we used the Rose of Leary
for that one) and last but not least to incorporate soft skills in PM situations Because itrsquos an
applied game it also must be fun to play So we already set the scene (you are running a group
of technicians on a Research Institute far away in the Galaxy) and a piece of the station is
melting
You as a player have to get
your best team member in the
reaction room to fix the
problem You can have help
lines (and intercom) and most
likely can have help from pads
or other tools
The game character Karin is
created using motion capture
techniques which enables the
game developers to let her act
any way they like in the game
This part of the project is
energetic and complex It
involves cleaning and
moulding the data from the
motion capture session create a skin add human expressions to it design something to wear (a spacesuit of course) etc
etc
The task for the PMI members is to add project management value to this scene In July Kim has visited the Grendel
Gamestudio in the old prison in Leeuwarden the Blokhuispoort Kim and Jeffry already came up with some great ideas
involving the use of PMBOK Risk Management adding score to the dialog using the PMI values Also using the intercom to
help the player (if he asks for it will give extra points) with the situation and giving feedback Another useful add-on will be a
pad the player can use to see for example the character profile or add comments to a risk log
Kim and Jeffry are now getting involved in the process of game (non-linear) scriptwriting Nice for their curriculum

A survey on PM certification Project Management certification continues at an increasing rate around the world Certification is a very important
component of professional practice and is a vital component of professional association strategy
Ten years ago we conducted a study designed to understand the value of project management certification processes to
individuals making the decision to seek certified project manager status This information provided important insights into
the value placed on certification by the individuals that choose to take this step
We are conducting a follow up survey which will provide important insight into how perceptions and attitudes towards
certification have changed over the last decade Comparing the responses over a decade apart will make a unique
contribution to our understanding of the development of project management over this period
We would really appreciate it if you would participate in this study The following link will take you directly to the survey
We anticipate that it will take between 15 and 45 minutes to complete httpswwwsurveymonkeycomsDZ2TB9R
If you are interested you can sign up at the end of the survey to receive an executive summary of the study findings and for
a draw prize for participants
We thank you for your time and hope you will choose to be a part of this exciting study

Verslag Game Academy Softskills actviteiten Mei ndash Juli (in
Dutch) Geachte heren en dames de afgelopen weken hebben wij in samenwerking met drie leden van PMI
gewerkt aan Softskills Wij zijn Rene Vielvoije Jeffry Turfboer en Kim van Rens inmiddels dank
verschuldigd voor hun eerste inzet Na een oproep in het Chapter Newletter zijn wij in een
workshop aan de slag gegaan om de contouren van het werk dat ons te wachten staat vast te
stellen Rene kon daar niet bijzijn en de vierde vrijwilligerster gaf aan dat er te veel werk was om
deze activiteit erbij te doen Helaas een vrouwelijke touch was leuk geweest
In een workshop op 29 juni in Utrecht onder aanwezigheid van Jan Jaap Severs van Grendel Games
hebben we van onze kant de vraag ten aanzien van de game en waar we staan en wat we nodig
hebben diepgaand uitgelegd De inbreng is tweeledig
- Een PMI projectmanagement laag in de game voor de doelgroep junior
projectmanagers
- Herkenbare PMI hardskills gerelateerd aan de PMBOK in de game
Ook zijn de beperkingen besproken er is al een gamesetting een scene en studio opnames met
een acteur Een stuk dialoog ligt al vast En we hebben tot december dus tijdsdruk en creatieve invulling
We hebben vastgesteld dat twee zaken minimaal in de game terug moeten komen
De basis PMI values
- Responsibility
- Respect
- Fairness
- Honesty
Een aantal drietal elementen van de PMBOK die passen bij de gamesituatie 2) Lessons learned zelfreflectie
3) Gebruik van projectplan WBS =gt riskassesment en report
4) Delegeren
Naar aanleiding hiervan zijn Jeffry en Kim zich gaan buigen over het script en de situaties Kim heeft donderdag 31 juli een
bezoek gebracht aan de gamestudio van Grendel Games in Leeuwarden en daar het volgende verslag van gemaakt
Laat ik beginnen dat ik bijzonder gastvrij ben ontvangen en dat de koffie en super was Daarnaast is hun locatie echt heel
bijzonder Dit moet je zelf zien en kan ik niet in woorden omschrijven Maar daar ging het natuurlijk niet om
Met Tim Laning en Anne Draaisma heb ik kunnen sparren over de Game SoftSkills Dit was erg waardevol om de juiste input
te kunnen leveren Ook heeft Anne mij de game laten zen voor zover dit mogelijk was Voor jullie beeldvorming Anne is
product owner en daarmee verantwoordelijk voor het bewaken van de voortgang Zijn team is nu bezig met het grafisch
uitwerken en het beschikbaar krijgen van de mocap (Motion Capturing) opnames Hierbij dienen verschillende
softwarepakket ingezet te worden om de gezichtsuitdrukkingen en de lichaamsbewegingen samen te voegen tot een
eenheid Dit kent nog enkele hindernissen maar ik begrijp dat afgelopen week progressie heeft gemaakt
De belangrijke aspecten voor ons dan
Omdat de mocap data reeds vast ligt kunnen we aan het script van Ingrid de tegenspeelster niets veranderen Wel kunnen
we gebruik maken van een intercom oid die input kan leveren aan de hoofdrolspeler Aaron De tekst van Aaron kan dus
ook aangepast worden zolang het maar een logisch verband houd met de antwoorden aan Ingrid
Er zal voor ongeveer 10 minuten script geschreven dienen te worden Het betreft slechts 1 scenario Het komt er op neer dat
Ingrid de reactorkern in zal moeten De vraag is hoe na het oplossen van dit probleem de relatie tussen Ingrid en Aaron is
Dit zal impact hebben in het verdere verloop van het spel Dit verdere verloop is GEEN onderdeel van de pilot die eind dit jaar
(Q4) gereed moet zijn
Het is dus belangrijk voor ons om het PMI aspect in eacuteeacuten scenario zo sterk mogelijk naar voren te laten komen waarmee we
aan onze groep deze game kunnen lsquoverkopenrsquo Er vanuit gaande dat dit traject een vervolg krijgt kan extra input voor scripts
mogelijk waardevol zijn (hoewel hier meer technische belemmeringen zijn dan bij het opzetten van meerdere scripts)
Als we in onze scripts aan kunnen geven of iets aansluit bij het PMI - gedachtegoed dan kunnen de programmeurs dit
omzetten in een puntenscore en kan dit tot uiting komen in de score

In de maand september gaan we verder met het concretiseren van scripts visualisatie daarvan inpassen in de gameplay
etc Daarnaast zoeken we samen met Kim en Jeffry en ons netwerk naar mensen die softskills aspecten zoals de Roos van
Leary die we gebruiken wetenschappelijk kunnen helpen staven
The Softskills project The Softskills project is thanks to the contributions from PMI members Rene Vielvoije Kim van
Rens and Jeffry Turfboer underway to have new project management features added We from
M-engaged and Grendel Games (wwwgrendel-gamescom) are working with the PMI members
in adding PMBOK rules and PMI values to the game The focus is on supporting junior project
managers
The Softskills project has several research aspects which include the RampD on motion capture
technologies the way softskills can be added to a game character (we used the Rose of Leary
for that one) and last but not least to incorporate soft skills in PM situations Because itrsquos an
applied game it also must be fun to play So we already set the scene (you are running a group
of technicians on a Research Institute far away in the Galaxy) and a piece of the station is
melting
You as a player have to get
your best team member in the
reaction room to fix the
problem You can have help
lines (and intercom) and most
likely can have help from pads
or other tools
The game character Karin is
created using motion capture
techniques which enables the
game developers to let her act
any way they like in the game
This part of the project is
energetic and complex It
involves cleaning and
moulding the data from the
motion capture session create a skin add human expressions to it design something to wear (a spacesuit of course) etc
etc
The task for the PMI members is to add project management value to this scene In July Kim has visited the Grendel
Gamestudio in the old prison in Leeuwarden the Blokhuispoort Kim and Jeffry already came up with some great ideas
involving the use of PMBOK Risk Management adding score to the dialog using the PMI values Also using the intercom to
help the player (if he asks for it will give extra points) with the situation and giving feedback Another useful add-on will be a
pad the player can use to see for example the character profile or add comments to a risk log
Kim and Jeffry are now getting involved in the process of game (non-linear) scriptwriting Nice for their curriculum

Verslag Game Academy Softskills actviteiten Mei ndash Juli (in
Dutch) Geachte heren en dames de afgelopen weken hebben wij in samenwerking met drie leden van PMI
gewerkt aan Softskills Wij zijn Rene Vielvoije Jeffry Turfboer en Kim van Rens inmiddels dank
verschuldigd voor hun eerste inzet Na een oproep in het Chapter Newletter zijn wij in een
workshop aan de slag gegaan om de contouren van het werk dat ons te wachten staat vast te
stellen Rene kon daar niet bijzijn en de vierde vrijwilligerster gaf aan dat er te veel werk was om
deze activiteit erbij te doen Helaas een vrouwelijke touch was leuk geweest
In een workshop op 29 juni in Utrecht onder aanwezigheid van Jan Jaap Severs van Grendel Games
hebben we van onze kant de vraag ten aanzien van de game en waar we staan en wat we nodig
hebben diepgaand uitgelegd De inbreng is tweeledig
- Een PMI projectmanagement laag in de game voor de doelgroep junior
projectmanagers
- Herkenbare PMI hardskills gerelateerd aan de PMBOK in de game
Ook zijn de beperkingen besproken er is al een gamesetting een scene en studio opnames met
een acteur Een stuk dialoog ligt al vast En we hebben tot december dus tijdsdruk en creatieve invulling
We hebben vastgesteld dat twee zaken minimaal in de game terug moeten komen
De basis PMI values
- Responsibility
- Respect
- Fairness
- Honesty
Een aantal drietal elementen van de PMBOK die passen bij de gamesituatie 2) Lessons learned zelfreflectie
3) Gebruik van projectplan WBS =gt riskassesment en report
4) Delegeren
Naar aanleiding hiervan zijn Jeffry en Kim zich gaan buigen over het script en de situaties Kim heeft donderdag 31 juli een
bezoek gebracht aan de gamestudio van Grendel Games in Leeuwarden en daar het volgende verslag van gemaakt
Laat ik beginnen dat ik bijzonder gastvrij ben ontvangen en dat de koffie en super was Daarnaast is hun locatie echt heel
bijzonder Dit moet je zelf zien en kan ik niet in woorden omschrijven Maar daar ging het natuurlijk niet om
Met Tim Laning en Anne Draaisma heb ik kunnen sparren over de Game SoftSkills Dit was erg waardevol om de juiste input
te kunnen leveren Ook heeft Anne mij de game laten zen voor zover dit mogelijk was Voor jullie beeldvorming Anne is
product owner en daarmee verantwoordelijk voor het bewaken van de voortgang Zijn team is nu bezig met het grafisch
uitwerken en het beschikbaar krijgen van de mocap (Motion Capturing) opnames Hierbij dienen verschillende
softwarepakket ingezet te worden om de gezichtsuitdrukkingen en de lichaamsbewegingen samen te voegen tot een
eenheid Dit kent nog enkele hindernissen maar ik begrijp dat afgelopen week progressie heeft gemaakt
De belangrijke aspecten voor ons dan
Omdat de mocap data reeds vast ligt kunnen we aan het script van Ingrid de tegenspeelster niets veranderen Wel kunnen
we gebruik maken van een intercom oid die input kan leveren aan de hoofdrolspeler Aaron De tekst van Aaron kan dus
ook aangepast worden zolang het maar een logisch verband houd met de antwoorden aan Ingrid
Er zal voor ongeveer 10 minuten script geschreven dienen te worden Het betreft slechts 1 scenario Het komt er op neer dat
Ingrid de reactorkern in zal moeten De vraag is hoe na het oplossen van dit probleem de relatie tussen Ingrid en Aaron is
Dit zal impact hebben in het verdere verloop van het spel Dit verdere verloop is GEEN onderdeel van de pilot die eind dit jaar
(Q4) gereed moet zijn
Het is dus belangrijk voor ons om het PMI aspect in eacuteeacuten scenario zo sterk mogelijk naar voren te laten komen waarmee we
aan onze groep deze game kunnen lsquoverkopenrsquo Er vanuit gaande dat dit traject een vervolg krijgt kan extra input voor scripts
mogelijk waardevol zijn (hoewel hier meer technische belemmeringen zijn dan bij het opzetten van meerdere scripts)
Als we in onze scripts aan kunnen geven of iets aansluit bij het PMI - gedachtegoed dan kunnen de programmeurs dit
omzetten in een puntenscore en kan dit tot uiting komen in de score

In de maand september gaan we verder met het concretiseren van scripts visualisatie daarvan inpassen in de gameplay
etc Daarnaast zoeken we samen met Kim en Jeffry en ons netwerk naar mensen die softskills aspecten zoals de Roos van
Leary die we gebruiken wetenschappelijk kunnen helpen staven
The Softskills project The Softskills project is thanks to the contributions from PMI members Rene Vielvoije Kim van
Rens and Jeffry Turfboer underway to have new project management features added We from
M-engaged and Grendel Games (wwwgrendel-gamescom) are working with the PMI members
in adding PMBOK rules and PMI values to the game The focus is on supporting junior project
managers
The Softskills project has several research aspects which include the RampD on motion capture
technologies the way softskills can be added to a game character (we used the Rose of Leary
for that one) and last but not least to incorporate soft skills in PM situations Because itrsquos an
applied game it also must be fun to play So we already set the scene (you are running a group
of technicians on a Research Institute far away in the Galaxy) and a piece of the station is
melting
You as a player have to get
your best team member in the
reaction room to fix the
problem You can have help
lines (and intercom) and most
likely can have help from pads
or other tools
The game character Karin is
created using motion capture
techniques which enables the
game developers to let her act
any way they like in the game
This part of the project is
energetic and complex It
involves cleaning and
moulding the data from the
motion capture session create a skin add human expressions to it design something to wear (a spacesuit of course) etc
etc
The task for the PMI members is to add project management value to this scene In July Kim has visited the Grendel
Gamestudio in the old prison in Leeuwarden the Blokhuispoort Kim and Jeffry already came up with some great ideas
involving the use of PMBOK Risk Management adding score to the dialog using the PMI values Also using the intercom to
help the player (if he asks for it will give extra points) with the situation and giving feedback Another useful add-on will be a
pad the player can use to see for example the character profile or add comments to a risk log
Kim and Jeffry are now getting involved in the process of game (non-linear) scriptwriting Nice for their curriculum
