Project Risk Management
This is not your father's risk management book-it is not your conventional
treatment of project risk management. Rather than treating project risk as a
narrow project and task-specific, "process" issue, risk is seen here as the outcome
of bad project selection, bad business planning, and bad company-wide culture.
Readers will experience a refreshing new perspective on project risk that
centers risk management on:
The business, enterprise-wide level
Good business and project planning and management practice
Building a healthy organizational culture that recognizes risk as the consequence
of bad planning
Chapter 1 will offer new insights on building a risk management culture, while
Chapter 2 deals with project selection using weighted models, financial return,
and other risk information. Chapter 3 provides more useful tools, and Chapter
4 includes a broad interpretation of the current Project Management Institute
PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) risk management section.
Chapter 4 illustrates a good project management manual to offset risk while
Chapter 6 illustrates a basic risk tool-the risk matrix table. Chapter 7 covers
the use of Microsoft Project to calculate a "risk-based" project schedule. Chapter
8 revisits risk and quality management. Chapter 9 is another practical example
of enterprise-wide, strategic risk planning in the Eastern case. Chapter 10
addresses how to document lessons learned in risk management.
Appendix Ais a useful set of exercises and problems-with answers-n risk
and cost management, Appendix B is an example of a risk-based schedule using
MS Project, and Appendix C provides a checklist to demystify business and
project risk management.
