Building the Denver International Airport
Number of pages:

ABSTRACT:
A 6 page paper examining some of the problems of project management in constructing and then opening Denver International Airport (DIA). Depending on the point of view and level of responsibility in the project, evaluations of DIA range from glowing to descriptions of pork-barrel politics complete with outright fraud. Before construction was ever begun the estimated cost was more than $1 billion. By the time it finally opened - 16 months after the physical structure was completed - the final cost was more than $5 billion. There is no question that the facility is beautiful and a marvel, but there is also no question that it presents a raft of lessons in how not to manage a project. The paper includes a SWOT analysis, alternatives and recommendations. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
