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.
