What are the chances of completing this project successfully? What might stop us? How can I anticipate and deal with potential threats? These are the kinds of questions (hopefully) asked by all project managers. This book is designed to identify and help you answer such questions.
Drawing on examples from a variety of business activities, the authors propose a systematic approach to dealing with risk. They provide both a conceptual framework and practical techniques for identifying, analysing and controlling risks of all types.
Quite rightly, the book concentrates on avoiding and minimising risk but also discusses how to control events as the risk event is realised. The book is written in an easy style and is a worthwhile complement to the standard range of project management books available.
