The most complicated military project in history started well before June 6, 1944, the day when the first of 156,000 men landed in Normandy, along with the first of 50,000 vehicles, brought there by 5,000 ships with air operations requiring 11,000 airplanes. Just how complex and just how successful was this project? This presentation will attempt to shed light on the planning and execution of this huge effort from the perspective of the Knowledge Areas of the PMBOK® Guide. Some of the findings may turn out to be quite unanticipated and surprising.
