Tacoma Narrows BridgeGalloping Gertie – 1940Collapsed on 7th Nov ’40Reason ‐ aerodynamic phenomena in suspension bridges were notbridges were not adequately understood.
A photographer for Tacoma News Tribune, Howard Clifford was the last man off the Bridge before it collapsed.

What is a Project ?
• A temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service or result
• Definite beginning and end• End
• Project’s objectives achieved• Project terminated – objectives cannot be met or need for project no longer exists
• Temporary does not necessarily mean short in duration©2008 P j t M t I tit t A G id t th P j t M t B d f©2008 Project Management Institute. A Guide to the Project Management Body of

Hubble Telescope Failure
• Hubble Space Telescope launched aboard Space Shuttle Discovery on 24th April ’90
• NASA called it a “New window on the Universe”
• announced failure on 21st June ’90• Both high resolution imaging camerasBoth high resolution imaging cameras showed distortion
• Planning started in ’70 CongressPlanning started in 70 Congress approved (’78) at a cost of $ 400 M

Process Groups
• Initiating – processes performed to define a new project or a new phasep
• Planning – processes required to establish the scope of the project, refine the objectives, and define the course of action
• Executing – processes performed to complete the work• Monitoring & Controlling ‐ processes required to track, review and regulate the progress
• Closing – processes performed to finalize all activities 16

Project Management Plan
• Project Management plan is iterative and goes through progressive elaboration throughout the project’s life cycle
• Progressive elaboration involves continuously improving and detailing a plan as more‐detailed and specific information and more accurate estimates become

• Background • $ 250 billion across 175,000 projects• Cost overrun ‐ $ 59 billion • Cancelled projects ‐ $ 81 billion
• One explanation – Managers are not taking prudent measures to assess and manage risk
• Suggested Steps• Identify risks
f• Relative importance of the risks• Identified risks to be classified to suggest meaningful mitigation strategiesmitigation strategies

• Q 1• Q 1 • specific risk factors ‐ lack of top management commitment, failure to gain user commitment, and inadequate user involvement.
• risk mitigation strategies ‐ create and maintain good relationships with customers and promote customerrelationships with customers and promote customer commitment to the project

fateful day. April 7, 2006
Galloping GertieThe significance of the first Tacoma Narrows Bridge, to a large extent, is derived from its startling collapse on November 7, 1940. The collapse brought engineers world-wide to the realization that aerodynamic phenomena in suspension bridges were not adequately understood in the profession nor had they been addressed in this design. New research was necessary to understand and predict these forces. The official investigation into the collapse recommended the use of wind-tunnel tests to aid in the design of the second Tacoma Narrows Bridge and resulted in the testing of all existing and future bridges across

Narrows Bridge and resulted in the testing of all existing and future bridges across the country. New mathematical theories of vibration, aerodynamics, wave phenomena, and harmonics as they apply to bridge design arose from these studies.
