The final was held at Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences in Pasila on March 28th, with six teams participating, selected based on the preliminary task. The Haaga-Helia team won the final.
All members of the University of Vaasa team had extensive experience in project management, which contributed to their success in the competition. In preparation, they focused on Agile methodologies, which were central to the competition.
The students reported that the most challenging part of the competition was adapting to the dynamic requirements of the simulation game. Quick decision-making and seamless collaboration were essential.
- Our teamwork functioned exceptionally well. Each member had slightly different strengths and clearly predefined roles, which helped us operate efficiently. We hope that our success in the competition will inspire future students to take on similar challenges, says Aniket Vibhute.
