Overview
The paper mainly reflects on the development of a simulation game for the school of
nursing within the GU university. The organization aims to properly develop an online
simulation game that must include proper simulation of nursing where the nurses generally
practices various types of administering related medications, care for development of the
patients, recording patients’ conditions as well as proper communication with the doctors. In
addition to this, the site generally includes proper chat utility with the help of portal of
videoconferencing for proper collaboration. Moreover, this will helps in providing proper related
work for a number of uses in order to give proper online training as one of the important parts of
the project. There are a number of repository requirement for the purpose of game learning for
properly guiding the Iwi/Maori inclusion. It is found that in this paper mixed method of waterfall
as well as scrum is mainly used and it is assumed that the project will get accomplished within 6
months of time within the budget of 120k to 250k.
1. Project scope
1.1 Project objectives
The project objectives are mainly listed below:
 To develop an online simulation game for the school of nursing in GU university
 To provide the facility of managing intravenous lines, recording condition of the patient
as well as for the purpose of communication
 To provide the facility of online training as well as real time utility and
videoconferencing portal for collaboration

2. Schedule baseline and work breakdown structure
2.1 Gantt chart
Gantt charts are quite useful for proper scheduling as well as for the purpose of
effectively planning the project and further they also help in assessing the duration that is mainly
required for developing the game for the nursing students. In addition to this, the Gantt chart that
is prepared helps in showcasing the resources that are assigned to (Kerzner 2017). Moreover,
they are also helpful in properly managing the project dependencies between the various project
tasks. It is analyzed that Scrum as well as waterfall methodology is mainly used while preparing
the Gantt chart. It is reflected that before going to the next phase of the project, it is quite
important to finish the earlier phase and therefore each of the project phases are executed
sequentially as per the waterfall methodology (Hornstein 2015). In addition to this, SCRUM
methodology is also utilized while developing the simulation game for the nursing students that
helps in embracing iterative as well as various types of incremental practices which generally
helps in finishing the work effectively such that the online simulation game can be delivered
frequently. The iterations within the project is reflected in the pre-production, production as well
as testing phase such that the online simulation game can be successfully created in sections
(Badewi 2016). Due to the use of SCRUM, proper quality can be maintained during the
development procedure other than the utilization of proper sequential activity and moreover, the
project needs as well as requirements can be managed quite effectively by properly prioritizing
and as a result, the cost which is required for the purpose of online simulation game development
generally reduces. The Gantt chart by utilizing the mixed methodology is mainly reflected
below:

2.2 Work breakdown structure
It helps in offering proper visual representation of the project deliverable including the
milestones (Ong, Wang and Zainon 2016). The key milestones help in simplifying the entire
projects into smaller for managing the project groups. The WBS for the online simulation game
for nursing school is given below:
