I'd love to know the details of that project overrun.
- maxlybbert 9y agoHonestly, so would I. I took a project management class in college, and many of the examples were NASA projects because they were sexy. Sadly, I don't remember any case studies referring to project overruns. And, seriously, if you're looking at NASA projects, you shouldn't have trouble finding examples that went over budget or didn't make the deadline. There are good lessons to learn from less-successful cases.
