Zusammenfassung:The Problem: Curiously despite the enormous attention project management and analysis have received over the years, the track record of projects is fundamentally poor, particularly for the larger and more difficult ones. Overruns are common. Many projects appear as failures, particularly in the public view. [W]hy does the record so consistently show project overruns to be the norm?

Contains briefing charts only.
