Project Risk Management: Processes, Techniques and Insights

Buy

"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

"Chris Chapman and Stephen Ward are our two leading scholars in project based uncertainty management. This second edition confirms their importance to the field."

—Peter W G Morris, Professor of Project Management, University College London; Executive Director, INDECO
