Project Management Case Study
Purpose
Lessons learned are a part of project management best practice, and we can also use them to consolidate our learning and understanding of project management, particularly by the use of counterfactual thinking. A final paper that explores a significant project failure or delay, providing at least three actionable recommendations to resolve the situation. The latter component requires counterfactual thinking, which is designed to stimulate a fulsome understanding of project management tools and techniques.
Case Study Questions:
Identify a public-facing project that has been either significantly delayed, failed, or has experienced significant issues (e.g., City of Calgary Green Line LRT project, City of Calgary 14 St BRT, City of Edmonton Valley Line LRT project, Grand Prairie Regional Hospital, etc.) For the purposes of this case study, you may not use a project that you have participated in as a project team member, client, or mentor. This avoids any ethical concerns regarding consent to participate in this case study or use of non-public information.
Using publicly-available sources and information, you will summarize the project, identify the presenting issue(s) of the project, and identify at least three recommendations which may have averted the issue(s) (i.e., avoidance, contingency plan(s), transference, or mitigation).
