Risk is a key issue for every project manager. How the various risks are handled can often define the final outcome of a project; it can determine its overall worth to both sponsors and contractors and its ultimate success or failure.

Starting from an explanation of how our current ideas of risk have evolved, the author: � introduces the nature of risk and the basis of risk analysis; � explores how and where different patterns of risk emerge within the life of a project, and � explains the variety of tools and techniques for risk analysis and management and shows how to use them. The book also provides a comprehensive assessment of the current range of software tools that deals with the various aspects of risk management.
