This assignment requires you firstly to identify a real world case: either a successful project or a failed project, and then based on the criteria you identified [from the literature] explain why the project either succeeded or failed. There are many references on the theme of project success or failure, and hence you will need to do some research to set up your criteria. The following references will help you start the process.

You can select a case from secondary data available in the public domain or from within your own organisation. The report should include the following information:

¥ Background of the company and the project case that you have selected.

¥ Discussion of standard criteria, such as those emerging in the reference section.

¥ Critical identification and justification of the criteria you think appropriate.

¥ Critical analysis of the case based on the criteria chosen.

¥ Presentation of appropriate conclusions.

¥ Provision of suggestions or recommendations in the event that the project should be re-run in the future.
