Project Failure Case Studies

More than $15 billion worth of lessons learned in one single book.

I research project failures and write case studies about them because it is a great way (for both of us) to learn from others' mistakes.

This book contains 11 of such case studies:

1) The £10 Billion IT Disaster at the NHS

2) The Epic Meltdown of TSB Bank

3) How a Screwed-Up SAP Implementation Almost Brought Down National Grid

4) The $440 Million Software Error at Knight Capital

5) Workday Did Not Work for Sacramento Public Schools

6) How Revlon Got Sued by Its Own Shareholders Because of a Failed SAP Implementation

7) The $2.5 Billion Cross-Border Expansion Mistake by Target

8) How Hertz Paid Accenture $32M for a Website That Never Went Live

9) The Payroll System That Cost Queensland Health AU$1.25 billion

10) LeasePlan Paid $100 Million for a SAP System That Never Went Live

11) How BBSI Blew Millions on an Oracle Cloud Solution
