Project Risk Management 2e: Processes, Techniques and Insights - Tapa dura

Based on sound conceptual foundations yet developed to meet practical concerns, Project Risk Management has become recognized as a standard work on its subject. It sets out the key issues and concepts involved in effective risk and uncertainty management in a clear and accessible way, providing a comprehensive discussion of risk management processes set firmly in the context of the project management task as a whole and focused on improving performance. The Second Edition has been extensively revised and updated to meet the new challenges of the field, and offers methodologies and techniques that are applicable to all kinds and all sizes of project.

"When first published in 1997, Chris Chapman and Stephen Ward's Project Risk Management instantly became a classic in the field, bringing risk management in a systematic manner into the mainstream for the management of projects. ?Their second edition of this seminal work is a tour de force - a comprehensive, lucid, and highly readable guide to one of the thorniest aspects of managing projects. ?Their book is a combination of leading edge scholarship coupled with strong, practical advice for project managers. ?I found useful insights on nearly every page."
—Jeffrey K. Pinto, Ph.D. Breene Professor of Management, Penn State University
