Projectmanagement in het jaar 1628
Kreeg zonet een leuk artikel doorgemaild van een collega. Projectmanagement is niet iets van de laatste jaren. In 1628 zonk het Zweedse schip Vasa op zo’n 1300 meter buitengaats tijdens haar maiden voyage.
Deze case study beschrijft wat er mis ging vanuit projectmanagement oogpunt. De zeven kantjes beschrijven een zeer herkenbare situatie.
Around 4:00 PM on August 10th, 1628 the warship Vasa set sail in Stockholm harbor on its maiden voyage as the newest ship in the Royal Swedish Navy. After sailing about 1300 meters, a light gust of wind caused the Vasa to heel over on its side. Water poured in through the gun portals and the ship sank with a loss of 53 lives. The Vasa lay in shallow waters of Stockholm harbor (at 32 meters depth) and after initial attempts to salvage it failed, was largely forgotten until it was located by Anders Franzen in 1956 [1]. In 1961, 333 years after it sank, the Vasa was raised and was so well preserved that it could float after the gun portals were sealed and water and mud were pumped from it. Today it is housed in a museum specially built for it, near the site where it foundered [6]. >> Lees verder [pdf]
