Case Study Assignments
Note: To respond to the following "Lessons Learned" questions,
research on the Internet may be necessary to fully respond to the issued raised.
- Make a list of all the stakeholders involved in this project.
- Why do you suppose the Olympic Village project was so badly handled? How did
that occur?
- Large sums of money were deployed, so who won and who lost?
- The members of the earlier project, to win the Olympics for Vancouver, were
not involved in the execution of the Olympics, including the Olympic Village project.
What is your opinion concerning the effect of this fact? And was that reasonable?
- We have very little information on how the Olympic Village project was actually
run in terms of project management, largely because the management of design and
construction was contracted out. Nevertheless, map out a schedule of project milestones
within the dates provided.
- Develop an outline management plan for the Olympic Village facilities, from
the perspective of the "sponsor" and starting right from the beginning.
- Discuss the impact of "politics" on this Olympic Village project and, if you
were the project manager, what might you have done differently to avoid this situation?
