Arguably you'd need to review more failures than successes, as the number of potential bad decisions is larger than the number of good ones

Someone should write an engineering management book that presents a series of pairs of case studies. Each pair consisting of two initially similar projects: one a success, the other a failure. We aren't learning enough from failure

What about triplets of case studies of similar projects: One a success, one a failure where one or more clear mistakes were made, one that was a good idea, well executed, and failed only because of factors outside the control of anyone involved.

Perhaps another category where success was achieved despite numerous mistakes.

Nevil Shute's Slide Rule includes case studies of two competing airship projects, the R100 and R101. Possibly not completely disinterested as he was Chief Engineer on the R100.
