Scenao A new multi-player computer game! Abbreviations: IS means information systems; PM means project manager. You have started a career as a project manager in the computer gaming sector. Your rst assignment is to manage the development of a new multi-player computer game which will be available on PC, Playstation and other platforms (but not mobile phones). The genre of the game is \"third person shooter" and the style is \"survival/horror\". The game will be designed to appeal to the same market as Dead Space: httgs:llwww.ea.com/en-gblgames/deadnsgace The game has been given the working title of \"Necromorph Combat" and so the project is called Project Necromorph. You must use this name in every answer in your assignment. The budget is $7 million, and the development project schedule is 24 months. There is a tolerance of pluslminus 10% for both budget and schedule. The scope is to develop the game from concept to readiness for beta testing on all required platforms. The game development will be executed in partnership with a leading Chinese game publisher. This business is the project client. There is some concern that the market for third person shooter survival/horror games may be close to saturation. However, the game publisher believes there is still a strong business case for going ahead with the development. The core project team, including the project manager (you) and the game designers, will be based in your country. However, much of the work, including the coding and testing will be outsourced to contracted teams in other countries. The game will use technology that has already been proven for multiplayer PC gaming, so minimising technological risk. You have been told that your project management approach should be based as far as possible on academic theories of project management. Agile methods will be used, but the final decision on the methodology has yet to be taken. Scenarios such as this never contain full information. You may therefore make any reasonable assumptions about this scenario that are appropriate for answering the assignment questions
