5) Either from your own experience or by searching the Internet, describe a well-planned and executed project. Describe a disastrous project. What were some of the main differences between these projects?

   A well planned project is one that meets or exceeds its cost, scope and time. An example of a well planned project starts with a kickoff meeting to bolster the morale of the team as well as to lay out the scheduled plans to enable the project to come into fruition. Undoubtedly, there may be hinders or complex changes that may deviate the project from any of its constraints even with planning. It is an important skill to expect such things and negotiations with the sponsors or team members to come to a compromise in an organized manner. Success also comes when all of the team members are doing the best of their abilities to complete the project with the given resources alloted and it is the responsibility of the project manager to do so.

   On the other hand, disastrous projects can happen if order and communication is not kept. For example, a bad project manager may not properly communicate certain problems or requirements to its appropriate team member or even the sponsor. Failed projects can also happen if the team is not competent enough or not putting enough effort towards the goal. This can often lead to more time, money or diminished overall quality of the project.
