2015 University of Maryland Project Management Symposium Do or Die Project Management: Lessons Learned from a Zero-Day Project
Elizabeth A. Rodgers · 2015
Projects take on a number of shapes, forms and lives of their own. Some are more successful than others depending on outside factors. The “Do or Die Project Management: Lessons Learned from a Zero-Day Project” project gets that name from the main feature of the project: the no float execution time. The execution time affected all aspects of the project including planning, execution, cost, risk, communication and closeout. The Lessons Learned from this project point to key factors, such as risk and communications management, that allowed it to be successful and points to factors that could have been detrimental. By examining these lessons project managers will be able to apply key insights to future projects that have similarities to “Zero-Day.”
