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.
