The original game belongs to RMC Learning Solutions and is based on the Process Chart by Rita Mulcahy: rmcls.com/game/process-chart-game-v11 This page is an unofficial Russian-language version, made for a first look at the material.

The game is for getting acquainted with the logic of the process chart. For exam preparation use the official RMC and PMI materials.

Sort the project management processes into the five Process Groups in the correct order, and you will see the whole project as one logical flow.

The five Process Groups (left to right):

Initiating → Planning → Executing → Monitoring & Controlling → Closing.

How to play:

  1. Drag each item from the “Mixed” list into the column of the correct Process Group.
  2. Inside a group, arrange the processes in the correct sequence — the order matters.
  3. Hover a card with the mouse to see what the step means and which tools are used there.
  4. “Play for points” gives you 10 points: every card dropped into the wrong group costs one point and comes back to the pile, and at zero the board resets.
  5. Click “Show results” to check yourself. “Ordering exercise: Planning” leaves only the Planning group on screen, shuffles it, and then “Show sequence errors” tells each card how far it has to move.
  6. “Shuffle the Mixed list” mixes items again; “Start new game” resets everything.
  7. Works with mouse and touch. Use any modern browser (not Internet Explorer).

Two card sets — The switch above the board chooses what you sort. The classic process chart is the detailed step-by-step sequence of a project: a hundred cards, from assigning the manager to the final acceptance. The PMBOK 8 set is the forty formal processes of the eighth edition, each with its section number of the guide on the right edge of the card. Both sets sort into the same five process groups, so they can be played together.

Why the sets differ — The eighth edition regrouped the processes: defining activities, sequencing them and estimating durations moved inside developing the schedule; qualitative and quantitative risk analysis became one process; developing and managing the team merged into leading the team; integrated change control became assessing and implementing changes. Hover any PMBOK 8 card and the explanation says what the process does, why it exists, and where the eighth edition parted with the sixth — the exam confusion lives exactly there.
