Filling a gap in project management literature, this book supplies managers and administrators\u2014at all levels of government\u2014with expert guidance on all aspects of public sector project management. From properly allocating risks in drafting contracts to dealing with downsized staffs and privatized services, this book clearly explains the technical concepts and the political issues public managers need to understand. In line with the principles of Total Quality Management (TQM) and the PMBOK\u00AE Guide, David S. Kassel establishes a framework those in the public sector may follow to ensure the success of their public projects and programs. The book supplies more than 30 real-life examples to illustrate the concepts behind the framework\u2014including reconstruction projects in Iraq, the Big Dig project in Boston, local sewer system and library construction projects, and software technology.
