Postscript
This paper contains considerable anecdotal evidence that, although useful,
does not necessarily support a conclusion one way or the other. I have tried to
use case studies from David Cleland's Project Management Casebook[23]
but the difficulty I encountered was in clearly identifying the role of the project
manager and hence drawing appropriate conclusions. I therefore chose anecdotal
cases in which the role of the project manager was clearly known to me (Cases
#1, 2 & 3) or else easily identified (Case #4). Nevertheless, the weaknesses of
the cases are recognized
