D. van Well-Stam, F. Lindenaar, S. van Kinderen, B.P. can den Bunt
2004, ISBN: 0749442751
Risk management is a structured form of risk control that identifies possible problems early and thus ensures that the project is both better managed and controlled. Project Risk Management is a concise, practical guide to analysing and managing risk in projects. A project is never without risks: these risks can put the whole process and schedule of the project in jeopardy. Suddenly an unforeseen problem or requirement can put a project on hold and delay the whole process causing havoc for everyone involved. Project Risk Management helps illustrate how to avoid these pitfalls.
