Hello
I'm following a course about project management. We have a group work about project management.
We were thinking about collecting data from a real project and analyze it.

So we would like to get in touch with a project manager who can provide us with data from projects he/she has done. This data can be the concept/definition of the project, list of activities, the schedule, risk analysis, project control, a microsoft project file, other software file,...

The project management course is given at the university and to MBA students.
The focus was on dynamic scheduling(schedule, risk analysis and project control). The methods discussed were PERT/CPM, critical chain/buffer management and EVM.

The data will not be share or published.

If you want we can give you the final report.

I hope someone can help us, thanks in advance!

In my opinion, you do not really need "real" data. Perhaps you could just use an MS Project Template from the library and elaborate other documentation related with the help of a SME.

I agree with Eduard: trying to make sense of "real" project data could be challenging. Not to mention that you would probably need to get into a non-disclosure agreement.

It would make more sense if you created your own project and collected the necessary data.

Thanks for the replies.
None of us has professional experience, so it's hard to find specific data like time estimates, ... We were thinking about a technical project, like the construction of a house, or the installation of a machine,... I think we can create most of the activities list, but we have no idea about time estimates, risks,...
I will check the MS Project templates, thank you!
