Abstract

The Scrum Simulator (ScrumSim) is an interactive multiplayer VR simulation that places the participant in a virtual collaboration environment, in order to train them in the use of a project management methodology i.e., Scrum. In VR, the participants as a team, with the assistance of two avatars, perform intuitive tasks in sprints, cooperate, discuss, interact with the environment and receive feedback on their performance and tasks. The novelty of this approach lies not only in the unique design elements but also in the use of avatars and the utilisation of in-game data (task efficiency and communication).
