Chennai: Team Pragathi represented by Sreelakshmi S and Manu K from IIT Madras emerged the winner of Project Management Game-A-Thon, a contest for college and university students.
In association with TechGig professional networking service, GitHub collaborative website, and Tata Consultancy Services as a knowledge partner, this contest by Project Management Institute (PMI) South Asia challenged participants to design a project management-themed digital game on a topic or scenario of their choice.
Team Pragathi designed Endurance, a multiplayer game based on farming that features a closed system of mutual dependency, emphasising the necessity for communication and coordination among the players for mutual survival and reliance on observation and analysis to optimise the game outcomes.
The first runner up was Team Proxima represented by Jebin Tony Raj S and Nirmal Patel from IIT Madras.
The team designed Navis+, a path planning game in which the players rescue survivors in the deep sea while managing resources and environment.
