| Summary |
If an audience of project people presented with a list of projects they have never heard of, is asked to speculate why these projects are in the news, almost everyone will agree it must be because they are late and over budget. That the projects do not exist neatly reveals what it is that people instinctively know about projects: they overspend and overrun. Salkeld argues the reason for this is that projects are probably mis-estimated. The search for a dependable estimate of costs and timescales, and the invocation of tightening management grip and concentrated focus will not bring the desired delivery and budget improvements if funding requirements are under-evaluated. This book shows how to: calculate funding required for a project using risk methods that will generate answers that are more reliable than those provided by traditional estimating; devise risk management plans that will assure the intended outcome of the decision to invest in a project. -- Edited summary from book |
