Managing Risk in Projects

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Once again David has clearly highlighted the importance of Project Risk Management in creating value for an enterprise's stakeholders. This edition's introduction of risk management in complex projects, and the importance of risk leadership, maintains this book's place as the cornerstone of any project risk management professional's resource library."

"David Hillson's classic 2009 book Managing Risk in Projects accelerated the shift of risk to centre stage in the project management field. This new update does it again, with the additional attention on complexity in projects, governance and strategic relevance. With rapidly increasing volatility and uncertainty in the world, including the growth in AI and machine learning, threats and opportunities are everywhere. If you don't want your critical projects to go up in flames, read this new book. Ignore it at your own risk!"

David L. Pells, PMI Fellow, HonFAPM, Managing Editor, PM World Journal, USA

"This book introduces fresh and innovative ideas for effectively managing risk in projects, programmes, and portfolios. This latest edition provides valuable insights that are directly applicable to risk management in lean and agile environments. Dr Hillson continues his tradition of delivering accessible content that emphasises not only the practical application of risk management tools but also a deep understanding of the concept of risk in various organisational activities."

"This second edition of David's book includes useful new material that addresses a wide range of recent changes in the evolving landscape of risk and projects. It is a succinct book that belies the breadth of topics it covers. While the focus is generally high-level, it contains a wealth of detail that will allow executives and project managers to tailor their risk management activities to the particular circumstances of their projects and the kinds of uncertainties they face. This book is written in David's typically clear language that is easy to read and understand. I strongly recommend it."

"Managing Risk in Projects has been an excellent source of practical information on project risk management for the past 15 years. This second edition builds on that with expanded coverage of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). Widening the description of project risk management to include programmes, portfolios, and the enterprise provides a much-needed strategic view of managing risk. David also provides insight and practical advice on addressing risk in complex projects, broadening our thinking on risk management and providing new contextual depth to the topic."
