An Exploration of the Prospects of International Standards in Development Project Planning Process in Bangladesh

Abstract

This study was focused on Traditional and International Standards of the planning process
for efficient and timely closure of the development projects in the public sector. It was
observed that implementation of development projects through traditional project
management process became less effective to achieve the desired impact on socioeconomic
development. Comparative analysis depicted that the International Standards of the project
management process could be the best alternative for the effective and successful
implementation of the development projects. Reviewing the development project planning
process, it has been suggested that the International Standards of the project planning process
may overcome development project management hurdles in the public sector in Bangladesh.
