The analysis of program 1 to 5 is based upon face-to-face
interviews with involved consultants and the management of
the respective programs as well as the analysis of project
documentation. Data source for program 6 was a ‘participantobservation’,
since the authors have been part of the planning
team in this program.
The cases together, as summarized in Tab. II, covered both
successful and less successful programs in terms of meeting
budget and schedule estimates and delivering according to
technical goals.
