Titanic: A Failed Project?

Marcelo Silva Niterói, Rj, Brazil

It is usually said that Titanic project was a total failure in terms of Project Management. But it was really so?

I mean Titanic was a big success in terms of media attraction, marketing, selling of tickets, too much attention from the local population; it amazed and at the same made people pride of themselves.

I was delivered as the greateast travel ship ever built in the entire world until that time. And yes it was delivered as promised! On time! It departed from a port!

Did the fact that one crew member was distracted and was unable to see from far and therefore could not take necessary measures to avoid the actual hit with an iceberg turn this giant piece of engineering work a failed project? Wasn't it a human failure instead of a project failure?

Think about it!

...

To decide if Titanic was a failed project or not we need to know the project goals and objectives.

PO does not like papers Sergio in general.
