Why a Gameboard?

Project Management Gameboard

Project Management is not just about doing the project right, but also about doing the right project!

The Project Management GameBoard brings the disciplines of project management into the 21st century with true collaborative practices built in the powerful world of Miro. Whether you are delivering projects to customers as part of your core business or building your project management chops we have the tools, techniques and practices to make you truly successful.

We could have used almost any metaphor or framework as the backbone of our consulting practice. But, we chose a GameBoard because well, its a bit of fun when things get intense.

Not only that but its an image that everyone can relate to, whether you’re a project sponsor, senior executive, project manager or subject matter expert in a project team you can easily find your way around the board.

It allows us to communicate an enormous amount of information quickly through visuals, gives you a road map and allows you to jump into the GameBoard at any point and use it to ensure your success.

We’ve brought Project Management into the 21 century by harnessing the power of Collaboration. This makes our projects more resilient, teams have the freedom and responsibility to deliver what needs to be done, all while doing the work that they love.

Effective Project Management is More Important than ever before.

Gameboard Benefits

“Win every project by focusing on culture and collaboration.”
~ Annie MacLeod, Co-Founder of the Project Management GameBoard

Getting Rid of Meetings that suck!

We believe that meetings are the thorn in the side of every employee. We have the tools to ensure meetings only happen when necessary, are to the point, the right people are in the room and that the meeting results in actions.

We will probably also have some fun along the way to make sure the creative juices are flowing.

Timely Informed Decision Making

A huge complaint we hear in so many organizations and projects is ‘why can’t they just make a decision’. Collaborative decision-making doesn’t have to be onerous – it does need to be structured.

If you want to ensure you are making informed decisions that are communicated effectively and timely we know how to do that.

Improving Team Accountability

More and more organizations are operating in dynamic teams. How do you ensure those teams are effective, efficient and responsive to deliver the value needed by the organization?

This comes through a thorough understanding of their role in the project is and direct control of how and when it is achieved. We have the processes and coaching to make that happen.

Managing Client Expectations

So many organizations deliver projects to customers, but how do you take into account the unique nuances and expectations that each client has? How can you adapt your project processes to their needs while not losing what’s made you great?

I really enjoyed working with the Project Management GameBoard and Annie MacLeod—I found we were able to really quickly get work accomplished and decisions made on our project using their tools and techniques. This was very unique compared to other consulting engagements I’ve experienced which can be more conversational and less action-oriented.

The Project Management GameBoard was clear, organized and exactly what we needed. We were able to move from a bunch of great ideas to launch a new service offering – online learning. We generated an executable plan in just 3 short workshops. I would start every new project this way!
