RE: PMHUB-G Project Management Case Studies

Hi Aseem,
Probably the two classic collection of case studies are Cleland, Bursic,
Puerzer and Vlasak's "Project Management Casebook" 1997 and Kerzner's
"Bible", "Project Management- A Systems Approach.....". (Note that I THINK
Kerzner took the case studies out of the later editions of the book, but
don't have the latest version in my library to verify that)

Another possible source....... Professor Frank Anbari, edited/edits the
work of his students from the GWU MSc in Project Management program, and at
one time, I believe PMI published these case studies, but that was back in
2004 or maybe 2005? I don't know if subsequent classes have continued doing
those case studies or not.

One final note- If you check your PMBOK Guide, page 4, you will see that PMI
does NOT promulgate "best practices" at all..... merely "good" practices or
those "used on most projects, most of the time". (I consider that to be
"average" practices)

Now, given projects fail with such alarming regularity, I would urge some
caution in you really believe that using the PMBoK Guide as the basis for
managing your projects will result in "better" project management......

Hi, i am looking for suggestion on a book covering case studies for project
management. something that would apply PMI concepts to IT projects and
provide best practices. I am recent PMP.
