For Swiss Universities

Project management: practice instead of just studying.

The AI-powered learning platform where students work through the entire project lifecycle – with instant feedback and real-world problems.

The Problem with PM Education

No Individual Coaching

With 20+ students, individual feedback is impossible. Lecturers cannot review every artifact in detail.

Weeks Instead of Seconds

The feedback loop from submission to correction takes weeks. By the time feedback arrives, the learning moment is gone.

Theory Without Transfer

Static case studies and lectures don't build actionable skills. Project management is a doing competency.

Ductivo: Learning by Doing

Living Case

No dead case studies. The lecturer provides a real-world problem – students work on it across all phases.

AI Tutor, Not AI Ghostwriter

The AI asks questions, gives hints, and encourages thinking. Scaffolding in three levels: thought question → hint → example. Never ready-made answers.

The Full Project Lifecycle

From systemic problem analysis through HERMES One to SAFe – all in one platform, all guided.

HERMES One Natively Integrated

The Swiss standard for project management isn't bolted on – it's built in. Master tables, deliverables, gate reviews – all included.

What do you think — which stakeholders are still missing from your analysis?
AI-powered

Your AI Tutor

Duci accompanies you as a personal learning companion — with prompts instead of answers. Scaffolding principle: You think, Duci supports.

  • Gives hints, never ready-made solutions
  • Checks completeness of your artifacts
  • Asks questions instead of giving answers

Get Started in Four Steps

1

Create a Class

Lecturer chooses learning format (Long/Short) and enters basic information.

2

Set Up Living Case

The real-world problem that will accompany students throughout.

3

Invite Students

Via CSV import or invitation link – done in 2 minutes.

4

Start Learning Path

Students log in and begin with Phase 1.

After that you can deliver.

Not just theory — you have experienced the complete project lifecycle hands-on.

Analyse systemically

Capture problems in a structured way, understand impact networks, derive initiatives from systemic analysis.

Apply HERMES One

Project charter, master table, gate reviews — you know the Swiss PM standard inside out.

Agile and classic

Scrum, Kanban or Waterfall — you can decide situationally and justify your choice.

Artifacts that stand up

Your documents survive a real review — substantive, structured and ready for practice.

Scale with SAFe

PI Planning, ART Sync, WSJF — you understand scaled agility for large organisations.

Justify decisions

You know why you do something — not just how. That is the difference between knowing and understanding.

This is what Ductivo looks like

Guided learning path. Instant feedback. Clear structure.
