Projects fail for many reasons, and we often learn valuable lessons from researching why past projects failed. In this case study, do an Internet search for failed projects, and choose a recent project that has failed (within the last 10 years). While we are working on an information technology (IT) project, you are not limited to choosing an IT project. You may choose any government or business project that has failed. After you choose a project, do additional research in the CSU Online Library to find information about your failed project. Your case study should include the elements listed below.

Give a brief description of the project, the deliverables, and the failure of the project.
Analyze why the project failed.
Choose two of the five process groups(initiating and planning), and explain changes you think could have been made to prevent project failure.
Choose three of the nine knowledge areas(Time Management, Cost Management and Scope Management), and explain changes in these areas that could have led to project success.
Provide a conclusion in which you state what you feel are the two most important lessons learned from this project failure.

Your completed case study should be at least three pages in length, not counting the title and reference pages.
