PowerPoint/Oral Presentation: Learning From Experience

Learning from experience can be one of the best ways to learn. You can also study and review the experiences of others through constructive criticism. Although you might not have worked formally on an IT or IS project yet, you can certainly locate material online and read case studies about past projects. This Application will help you compare what you are learning this unit with the case studies commonly available online. Through this gross analysis, you should be able to easily recognize characteristics of both successful and unsuccessful projects.

Access the Internet and find websites, such as CIO, that contain case studies about project management. You can use the search bar at the end of the Application to look for references to assist you. Then, complete the following:

  1. Identify two IT projects that were successful and two that failed.
  2. For each project, identify two or three reasons that made it either a success or a failure.
  3. For the projects that failed, suggest actions that could have saved them. For the successful projects, list the potential pitfalls that the PM avoided.

Submit a PowerPoint Presentation that contains 6-10 slides with a narrative overlay. The overall slide show must be in the 6-10 minute range.

The presentation must be engaging, organized, easy to understand, and include the following:

  • An introduction to the presentation.
  • Two projects or case studies that failed and two that were successful.
  • Two or three reasons that explain each project's success or failure.
  • Potential changes in the actions that could have led to the failed project's success and potential pitfalls that the PM of the successful project avoided.
  • A summary of the presentation.
