| dc.description | This book provides an analysis of the difficulties in managing megaprojects during each phase and throughout the life span of the project. Despite the huge volume of news articles, papers, and reports that have been published on the Big Dig, very little has been written about the day-to-day reality of managing projects from a project manager’s perspective as well as the management of the complex risks faced by the nation’s largest megaproject. With the exception of several comprehensive political and historical writings on the Big Dig (Tobin 2001; Hughes 2000; Luberoff and Altshuler 1996), much of the writing about the project is anecdotal, and little is of research quality. More important, it has never been studied for its lessons in the management of megaproject risk, cost, and schedule, particularly in interrelation to technical, legal, political, and social factors. Significantly, there has been no systematic analysis to date of how project costs and risks can be managed across the megaproject life cycle. For example, the Transportation Research Board’s Final Report on Cost Estimation and Management for Highway Projects concluded that most efforts to date have focused on cost estimation (tools to improve estimates) and have completely neglected the difficult problems of cost management during the project’s execution (Anderson et al. 2006) | en_us |
