Failed Project Case Study-The United States 2010 Decennial Census will be used to complete Module 6. Case study analysis. Even though other Project Management Knowledge Areas will present themselves in the case, the focus of the case study analysis is the “Triple Constraints” Scope, Schedule/Time, & Cost management (PMBOK Chapters 5, 6, & 7). All impacting Quality management (Chapter 8), and the entire project. Together, these are important Knowledge Areas because a project cannot be managed successfully without ensuring quality, and effective management of the “triple constraints”. Task(s) Framework: 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. Drawing from the PMBOK Guide (Chapters 5, 6, 7 & 8) and other course material, and most importantly your knowledge and expertise of project management: Critique how the case was handled. What was done right, what went wrong, what could have been done differently, why, and how? Explain what you learned about project management from the case? Include an explanation of how knowledge of the PMBOK (Chapters 5, 6, 7 & 8) could have helped alleviate the issues in the case. Offer solid and defensible conclusion(s) and recommendations.
