I first became interested in the methods of planning the sequence
and timing of jobs on large-scale development projects, as a field
officer involved in planning and implementing mechanised farming
schemes in Uganda in the mid-sixties. This interest was reinforced
by experience of agro-industrial projects in both Nigeria and Iran,
when it became obvious that the lax traditional methods of both
planning and controll ing the implementation of agricultural and
other rural development projects were very ineffective compared
with those already in use in other disciplines. An extended spell
as Resident Adviser on a World Bank project to strengthen planning
and project management services in the agricultural sector in Sind
Province, Pakistan, stimulated this interest further, and gave
opportunities to develop the use of improved methods on some very
complex schemes. This book summarises the experience gained in
adapting critical path methods, well established in other fields,
to Third World development projects, with their peculiar problems.
It would not have been possible to reach this point without the
help and stimulation of discussions with a large number of
colleagues, includ ing John Joyce (then of Hunting Technical
Services), Hatsuya Azumi (World Bank), and-particularly-Zaffar
Sohrwardy and Akhtar Ali of Aarkays Associates in Karachi, during
our work together. My thanks are also due to Yasin Mohammed, who
typed most of the original draft; Anwar Mohammed and Irene Mills
for final typing; and to my wife, Jill, for drawing the original
figures.
