Discussion Requirements

The following are specific Discussion requirements:

• Initial posts must be made by mid-week (Day four).
• Respond to a minimum of two of your peers' posts.
• To assist your instructor in evaluating your work, when creating your initial post, copy the question from the activity and paste it in bold font just before your answer.
• To assist the readers in keeping track of who the involved parties are in a specific discussion, begin your response posts with the name of the peer to whom you are responding.
• Place appropriate APA Style in-text citations and a Reference Table for any “borrowed” data obtained from a source.
• Your data needs to be grammatically sound and free of spelling errors.
• Using terminology from the reference sources in your answers will enhance your grade.
• Unless you are a subject matter expert on the topic, based on your degrees, certifications or “on the job training,” do not submit data obtained only from personal experience.

Discussion Question

Properly planning and executing a project can mean the difference in success or failure and hundreds of millions of dollars in the balance sheet for an enterprise. Chapter 13 of the course textbook points out the Denver International Airport baggage system $560 million boondoggle cost overrun, which eventually led to the scrapping of the entire system, followed by a new replacement project.

Question: Find a prime example of another "big loser" event where an enterprise suffered a similar catastrophic, financial disaster. To who or what was the blame attributed. State your suggestions for how the failure could have been avoided?

Remember, the goal in the Discussion is to create an atmosphere of interaction by posting meaningful responses that advance and expand the depth of the discussion. Do this by providing additional support to your peers' initial and response posts, or if appropriate, by challenging them if you feel that the data that they presented is weak. Likewise, when a peer challenges the data in your posts, debate the issue, and providing further support for your points of view on the topic.
