General case studies:

• ResNet case study – This case study was based on a real project done by Northwest Airlines, now part of Delta. It includes real examples of several project documents. It’s from my first book, Information Technology Project Management, published in 2000 by Thomson Learning, Cambridge, MA.
• VAPR case study – This case study is documented in detail in the text Healthcare Project Management (first and second edition, published by Schwalbe Publishing). This file includes several examples of project documents like a charter, WBS, etc.
• 2022: My current books include several case studies. For example, An Introduction to Project Management, Seventh Edition, includes Appendix A with three case studies: real projects, new fixer upper, banking mobile application with agile team. I’m trying to add/create more teaching cases and activities, especially ones that include more agile and hybrid approach to project management. If you have suggestions, email me at schwalbe@augsburg.edu
