Abstract

Misaligned incentives between contractors and the PMO produce ineffective cooperation, causing wasted effort, lost time, and poor results. Using game theory to frame these situations, and agent-based modelling to quantify them, we can design incentive mechanisms to promote cooperation and improve results.
