The WASA – A True Story of Scope Creep
A project succeeds because its objectives are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-based. The WASA project was doomed to fail because it did not conform to regular project guidelines, which was my favourite aspect of the project. My thoughts on this project are that the project had no chance of success, and this is because the project was communicated orally, the requirements kept changing, there was a lot of pressure from the tight deadline, and the need for innovation.
The project failed because it was only communicated orally and not in a written form. The king only made verbal communication about the project, which meant the project scope was not drafted. The lack of the project scope left the project open to changes that led to the project’s failure.
The constant change in requirements without the project deadline’s extension also played a part in the project’s failure. The king repeatedly made changes to the conditions, and even though the project manager was in disagreement with the king, he did not voice it. Instead, the project manager did as the king dictated, which eventually led to the ship’s sinking.
The other reason the project failed was the pressure brought on by the tight deadline. The king made requirement changes without increasing the assigned timeline. This put pressure on everyone involved in the project, especially the project manager, who later passed on.
The need for innovation was another contributing factor to the project failure. Innovations such as the making the biggest ship, the addition of warfare equipment and decorations led to this failure. Because they overlooked the ship’s efficiency, and even though the ship’s stability test failed, they still took it out into the waters, which had a fatal consequence.
To conclude, following the right project procedures, the WASA project would have been a success, but it wasn’t successful given the project’s constant scope issues.
