Introduce the case and offer a summary of the issues and the main concerns in the case. Explain how the issues and concerns could impact the success of the project.
The Failed Project Case Study will be used to complete the case analysis for module 5. Refer also to PMBOK Chapter 6 & 7:Time & Cost
One of the best ways to learn is to analyze a case, a particular situation that exemplifies the issues, strengths, and weaknesses that are faced when actually managing a project. This is a proven learning tool shown to reinforce knowledge and understanding of material. The case studies focus on two important aspects of project management, aspects that are used to judge the success of projects.
Time and cost is the first case study because projects have specified budgets and timeframes which the project manager must, at the very least, be able to meet.
Framework:

- Explain what you learned about project management from the case.
