The Vasa Capsizes Case Assignment

Abstract The “Vasa Capsizes Case Assignment”, is a project management case. We’ll find that if the project leader used many of the project management tools used in today’s projects the Vasa probably would have made numerous voyages for the Swedish fleet. However, because of the lack of a clear written procedure when deviations to the ship building process occurred, no risk analysis and action plan if the risk occurs, along with no project progress reporting the Vasa building team failed and the Vasa sank.
Setup - Definition In our project management checklist under the setup-definition verification there are two key questions to the Vasa ship being built correctly. The primary factor is if the shipwright – Mr. Henrik Hybertson “assessed the risk(s) and put a plan into action to monitor the risks throughout the project.”1 A typical risk analysis lists many of the risks that could occur during the project, the affects of the risk, the priority, the owner and the appropriate action plan if the risk occurs. Below is a possible risk analysis that the project leader, and in this case it seems to be the Admiral Klas Fleming.

A secondary factor is: “Have you carried out a stakeholder analysis and planned accordingly?”1 A stakeholder analysis in a project such as building the Vasa is a key tool that identifies stakeholder support so the project leader can develop an action plan for the project. The stakeholder analysis shows whose interests (project leaders, process owners, managers, apprentices) that the project will come into contact with that display a level of ownership and commitment to the success of the Vasa construction. In the Vasa project the project leaders – the Admiral and King, the owners – Henrik and Hein, along with the captain, others assisting in the building of the ship.
