Summary:

The Berlin International Airport was a megaproject undertaken in unified Germany with the aspiration of making unified Germany stronger and wealthier. Berlin was chosen for the megaproject to restore its lost glory and make it a global city serving one of the largest economies in the world. This airport was built to handle more than 27 million passengers per year. The project encountered unprecedented challenges resulting in inordinate delay in its completion. A study of this megaproject is thus important to students and practitioners of Project Management. An analysis of challenges, delays, and management would be helpful for project managers likely to handle such megaprojects in the future. The case demonstrates why a megaproject is to be treated differently from traditional projects for the purpose of assessing project performance and project success. It discusses the dilemma regarding project performance and project success in the case of megaprojects. It provides an opportunity for students to apply the diamond model for evaluating the performance of this megaproject and also decide if the project is a success or not. It also involves the identification and mitigation of project risk factors involved in global megaprojects.
