Overview
- Learner goals and capabilities
-
Saskatchewan Polytechnic Business Information Systems (BIS) students explore project management through game design. Do you have a promotional game idea for your organization or business? Would you like a small interactive app for training or to increase engagement? A team of our students may be able to help!
- Expected outcomes and deliverables
-
Students must complete a minimum viable product in the form of a complete and working video game. They must also document the project management process as to how they achieved this minimum viable product and present to the process and product to their clients.
Product deliverable typically includes any title screens, option menus, game play levels, credits, sprites, animations, sounds etc. requested by the project sponsor. It also includes all supporting project documentation.
Project Examples
Games are typically 2-D and can be targeted at Desktop, Web Browsers and/or phones. Here are some examples of past projects:

Be available for a quick phone call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the course.
