3D navigation of Olympic Games venues: A term project for a project management course

Project management skills are in high demand in all types of business, industry, as well as government and non‐profit organisations. At the undergraduate or MBA level, it is important that a course in this topic provides a stimulating, challenging, and comprehensive learning experience, in contrast to professional training and certification programs that focus on procedural templates. While a term‐wide project calling for all aspects of the syllabus is obviously desirable, it must not be overly involved to become a ‘projects course’ rather than a course in project management. The intricate issue is then to design such assignments as meaningful and interesting projects, without their actual implementation. A case in 3D navigation of Olympic Games venues is presented. It fits the academic requirements and is well received and appreciated by students.
