Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Overall a decent read. Purely factual and interesting - the conclusion didn't need to take 80 pages to reach - could have been summed up quicker.
I enjoy RAND books, but this one was really dry and monotonous.

This analysis uses data from Selected Acquisition Reports to determine the causes of cost growth in 35 mature major defense acquisition programs. Four major sources of growth are identified: (1) errors in estimation and scheduling, (2) decisions by the government, (3) financial matters, and (4) miscellaneous. The analysis shows that more than two-thirds of cost growth (measured as simple averages) is caused by decisions, most of which involve quantity changes, requirements growth, and schedule changes.
