Are you aware of any available project management case studies, that are well described with the details and could be useful for the beginners project leaders and sponsor training?
I'm looking for the case that show both - successes and mistakes, especially in regards to basic PM things like stakeholders identification and management, schedule preparation and execution, resources planning and management etc.
Is there anything like that on PMI, Projectmanagement.com or other sources?
I'm looking for something simple, not a mega-project, to be used in organization that is not project-oriented. I need something outside of this organization - that's why I'm asking here.

One source to look at would be PMIEF, teacher resources.
In my classes in a MBA program, I use the MBA program itself as an example. Everybody is aware of it is keen to improve the chances of success. The problem is that normally everyone is fighting for themselves, so teaming is not a good topic. But for other topics like scope, time, cost, stakeholders, risks it is a good case.

Thanks! PMIEF is really a good stuff, I did yet not found exactly the case I need but there are a lot of things to be used in the training.

Project Management Case Studies by Harold Kerzner was the book used when I took Case Studies in Project Management during graduate school.
Thanks! Is it a good book? How are the cases described? With what level of detail?

I thought they were very well written. There are many case studies on a variety of subjects, some where things went well, some badly so it's more for generating thought and discussion than detailed postmortems.
It worked well for a teaching setting where students read and write about 1 or 2 cases outside of class, and then a instructor guided discussion during class. Highly detailed case studies by contrast can be the subject of a full-blown research paper.
