Learning Objectives

The case is centered around the 2021 Telangana Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) elections, held against the backdrop of a known unknown: the COVID-19 pandemic. While the project planning was diligent, the team faced several unknown unknowns during the execution of the project. The case study enables readers to create a framework for risk management and associated strategies within the project management context.

The key case objectives are to enable students to: • Appreciate the importance of effective project management, planning, and execution in public administration against the backdrop of uncertainties and complexities. • Understand the importance of risk identification, risk planning, and prioritization. • Learn strategies to manage various project risks in a real-life situation. • Identify the characteristics of effective leadership in times of crisis and the key takeaways from such scenarios.
