Project followership: how project team members can contribute to project success
No full textBy screening the books addressing project management topics, it can be noted that
most publications are aimed at project managers and, more generally, the people
responsible for coordinating complex and innovative initiatives. In recent years, it
was understood that without the support of senior management a project manager
has greater difficulty in managing the project. For this reason other publications,
targeted to senior management which commissions and sponsors the projects
(Archibald and Archibald 2013, West 2010, Englund and Bucero 2006, Love and
Love 2000), appeared.
Other publications, instead, recognize the importance of the project team as key
player in project environments and they provide hints to the project managers on
how to lead, motivate, and manage project teams (DeMarco and Lister 2013, Brown

These perspectives are useful to understand why the Government decided to give a definite stop to the project. The idea behind the case is to try to rationalize the decision of the Government by applying risk analysis. Since there are many stakeholders, the case can be analyzed from their different perspectives. It is possible to analyze the risk from the perspective of the Government, the citizens, the shareholders. The suggestion is to put all these perspectives together by considering the perspective of an Auditor that has the task of assessing all the risks related to the project. The case can be discussed in many courses such as risk management, project management, public-private partnership (PPP), project financing, long-term planning, and public projects
