Synopsis
Understand how governments manage scarce resources to finish a project on time and at cost.
This book explains why cost overruns happen in development projects and what changes to policy and management can improve outcomes.
In Development Projects Cost Dynamics, readers see how a simple cost structure—base costs and progress costs—drives the overall performance of investment programs. The work blends theory with practical models to show how budget balance and starting rates for new projects shape completion time and cost. It grounds its analysis in real-world contexts while offering a clear framework for evaluating project performance.- How base and progress costs interact to influence project completion and budgets
- How imbalances between total projects and available resources affect efficiency
- Models that illustrate policy choices, such as adjusting the rate of starting new projects
- Guidance for policymakers and managers on achieving more predictable costs and timelines

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a revolutionary model to understand the root causes of cost and time overruns in development projects, showing how they arise from the very structure of project costs. The author, an expert in system dynamics, explains that by dividing project costs into base and progress costs, an inherent dynamic arises that can trap projects in a cycle of inefficiency and ineffectiveness, regardless of the quality of individual project management. The book demonstrates how this dynamic can be overcome by striking a balance between project numbers and resource availability and discusses the importance of starting rate decisions. With clear explanations and real-world examples, this book offers valuable insights into the management of development projects and the efficient use of investment resources, making it essential reading for anyone involved in project planning and execution.
