Project Management Overview

Part One: Research Paper (3 pages) 

Search the Online Library and find a project that was not completed successfully. Write a three-page summary of the project, including the reasons why you think this project failed. Also, include project lessons learned and record how lessons learned were used to inform projects. How does this compare to what was discussed in this unit?

Be sure to use APA format and cite your work. Your summary should be at least three pages in length and will include a title and reference page which are not included in the page count.
