The
Great
Project
Study
The Great Project Study was founded to answer a single question: What are the common elements it took achieve the greatest projects in human history.
The five-year study analyzed a total of 18 projects—12 great projects and 6 epic failures—with a combined budget of $120 billion.
Regardless of industry, budget, or era, the Great Project Study shows there is a set of enduring skills and behaviors that separate epic failures from great projects.
