Case Study : Healthcare Information System (HIS) Implementation

A large healthcare organization embarked on a project to implement a new healthcare information system (HIS) to improve patient care and organizational efficiency. The project involved several activities, including software development, system testing, staff training, and system deployment. However, the project experienced several delays, leading to missed deadlines and cost overruns. One of the primary reasons for the delay was the failure to properly manage the critical path activities. Some critical path activities were delayed due to lack of resources, leading to a domino effect that impacted other critical path activities.

Discussion Questions:How can project managers ensure that all critical path activities have the necessary resources to be completed on time?
