Abstract: An exemplary system and method are disclosed for interactively teaching software development processes to multiple users. The exemplary system may include a discrete event simulator for teaching software development that allows a software development team to simulate an entire software development project much faster than real time. The system teaches an entire software development team a set of formal or informal processes using a project simulation. In the course of using the system, each member of the team learns the processes, and together, the entire team learns how to use the processes as a team. The system enables each team member to learn software development processes as well as how those processes translate into team interactions in practice. The system also enables the team to learn how to apply the processes in difficult situations.
