On April 15, 1912, the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg and sank on its maiden voyage with the loss of over 1,500 people in a single night. Could Project Management have helped avoid that disaster? The tragedy offers many lessons for project managers. What could have the ship officers done to prevent such a catastrophe?
