Simulation plays an important role in project management as it allows you to predict possible risks and reduce the impact of incorrect decisions on project implementation. In this blogpost, we will look at how different modeling methods could be applied to the problem of software development project management, but then focus on the agent-based approach and its advantages.
New chapters are available for download. The 'Big Book of Simulation Modeling, Multimethod Modeling with AnyLogic 8', is the essential text for those learning simulation modeling and AnyLogic. It is the only book to comprehensively present the three major methods in simulation modeling: agent-based, system dynamics, and discrete-event. Suitable for new users, intermediate, and advanced, the book provides examples and step-by-step guides based on a variety of application areas...
Imagine that you need to create a computer program. To do this, you have to hire developers, designers and testers, organize processes, draw up a development plan, constantly evaluate the performance of colleagues, and so on. The task quickly becomes complex. What are your chances of success if you are not a professional? Here, the downloadable book chapter explores how to use simulation in project management. It gives practical examples from a logistics service provider and a...

This free educational textbook uses AnyLogic to teach the art of process centric modeling. Also known as discrete-event modeling, process-centric modeling is good for capturing business processes, where systems can be described as a sequence of actions. Capturing a system in a process-centric model is not always straightforward but, using clear examples and the simulation modeling tool AnyLogic, this book teaches you how.
