What can be learned from successful and unsuccessful previous projects?
The successfulness of a project can be evaluated from the project managers’ or other stakeholders’ perspectives. Societal acceptance is achieved when these different perspectives are aligned.
A summary of the ways in which projects were more or less successful in aligning the project managers’ and other stakeholders’ perspectives can be found here (chapter 7). You can learn more by reading some of the following case studies on more and less successful projects from the different perspectives.
