Game Development Project Management

The assignment provides a comprehensive project management plan for game development, including resource allocation, timeline, and budget. The plan outlines the roles and responsibilities of team members, including a project manager, Android developers, software engineers, game testers, and hardware systems specialists. The document also identifies major risks in the project, such as the game becoming boring for the target audience, and suggests measures to mitigate these risks. The expected outcomes include a fun and interactive game that can be used for educational purposes.
