Many governments have effectively organized public project
implementation systems in their jurisdictions. At the same time,
many other countries remain at a less advanced level of public
project management. Globally, there is a need for project
management knowledge to be transferred between governments.
However, no systematic review of these practices has been developed
to date. Projects, Government, and Public Policy was written to
fulfill this need and presents a review of project management
practices in countries with developed project-based capabilities.
This book uses its own rigorous model to present this review
systematically. This book's practical purpose is to give a
structured overview of government-level project management
practices. This knowledge can be used in the work of governments to
improve the management of public projects and the implementation of
public policies. Many professionals working in public institutions
understand project management concepts differently than project
management professionals. Therefore, this book begins with a
chapter that describes the differences between the conceptual basis
of public administration and project management. The body of this
book has five parts. Part I is mainly intended for those involved
in government and public administration who want to acquire or
increase knowledge about project management. Part II provides an
overview of the basic concepts from the theory of public
administration, public policies, and development management. Part
III describes what makes public projects unique and the success
factors specific to projects of this sector. Knowledge about
effective government project management practices is covered in
Part IV. The concluding Part V begins with a general overview of
the maturity model concept. Its main part covers the description of
a maturity model showing ways to systematically improve the
implementation of public projects. This book is written for
governments and government administrators, including the most
influential decision-makers, who craft policies to guide a
country's development as well as how to implement projects. This
book is also intended for supporters and enthusiasts of project
management in government and public administration by providing
them with a description of the solutions used by project management
in public administration. This book is intended, too, for all
project management practitioners working for public projects:
project managers, team members, sponsors, and middle-level
executives of project-delivering private companies. By knowing
public administration concepts, they can manage their projects
better and use a common language with their clients.
