One of the vaguest concepts of project management is project success. Since each individual or group of people who are involved in a project have different needs and expectations‚ it is very unsurprising that they interpret project success in their own way of understanding. Some project managers intuitively and informally determine their own success factors. However‚ if these factors are not explicitly identified and recorded‚ they will not become part of formal project management reporting process

Objective : To analyse the Anglo French Concorde project to design and build a supersonic airliner including detailed stakeholder analysis and the reasons behind the slippage and budget escalation Introduction : The Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde was a supersonic passenger airliner or supersonic transport (SST). It was a product of an Anglo-French government treaty‚ combining the manufacturing efforts of Aérospatiale and British Aircraft Corporation.Concorde’s maiden flight in March 1969 carried the

ENGINEERING DISASTERS We can also call Engineering as in invisible science. No one can actually see how it works but it actually exists like an air. Example: Plain flies‚ building stands and many more. We don’t think how a building can stand weight without collapsing. Similar to apple’s company’s Moto ‘it just works. Here the main problems are not the designs but the material the use up building that design. The concept of total cost minimization is the roots of such accidents that just ruins lives

All engineering is based on risks and hazards. Nothing is perfect. A prototype still contains lots of errors. On lower level engineering projects‚ these may not be so harmful but on a higher level project they can be deadly. In 1986‚ the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded during launch‚ taking the lives of six astronauts and one teacher. Questions arose about what factors led to this disaster. I will discuss these factors in terms of general engineering disasters. In an article “Explaining

Abstract Concorde was big technological achievement‚ aircraft made beyond its time‚ triumph of engineering craft. Success desired by all nations achieved thru European collaboration of Britain and France. However‚ economical failure not because of its huge development difficulties and costs as because of the staggering high cost of fuel‚ environmental opposition and inability to obtain permission to fly supersonically over land. Concluding that its withdrawal was a big step backward in an age

Engineering Disaster Civil Engineers build significant structures that can last more than a century‚ some of these structures such as Burj Khalifa‚ pyramids and evil towers in France can be considered as landmarks‚ because of its history and its beauty of design. Civil Engineers study the four factors of building structures to determine which tools and materials they will use in order to build permanent structures. Although engineers studying the factors and take the determination‚ there is some

Was Dunkirk a Triumph of a Disaster? In May 1940 Hitler decided to start taking countries to the West of Germany‚ this included France. The French had strong defences around the German border‚ so Hitler travelled round them and invaded Holland and Belgium and then entered France through the Ardennes‚ which is covered by dense forest. The Germans took the French and the British Expeditionary Force -who were allied with France- by surprise because of the speed of their advance and managed to corner

Concorde Bookshop Paper HCS/587 April 15‚ 2013 Concorde Bookshop Paper Someone once said‚”the only permanent thing in this world is change.” This is so true. In every aspect of life change happens whether deliberately or not. In the business world or in any organization‚ change can become necessary for it to remain competitive or to survive. Change process does not always happen smoothly and the result not always successful or what the leaders have hoped for. This essay will

Michael Faraday who invented the electric motor in the 1820’s. Well‚ the first motor was a fairly simple device – and we have been improving on its design and looking for new applications for it ever since its birth.These days there are endless projects going on around the globe where engineers are trying to modify existing motors in order to be able to use them in new contexts and in traditional contexts – but with better – more efficient results. In Faraday’s time engineers and scientists had
