Summary: The aim of the book is to provide a practical overview of the project risk management process that covers both theory and practice and would serve as a useful guide to a wide range of readers from students to project risk experts. The book covers all aspects of the project risk management process as covered by more project management organizations including PMI, Prince 11, AACEI overview and ISO 31000. It includes interesting discussions of famous historical event from a project risk perspective. In addition, the book will provide practical step by step guides for implementing a project risk management process.One of the major shortcomings in most books in project risk management is that they fall into two categories. One, they are comprehensive, theoretical, and use very complex project examples, which can be extremely dry and unappealing to readers who low to medium experience in the field. The other types fall into the Project Risk for Dummies category. They are simple step by step guides on 'how to', but extremely light on theory and are not appropriate for anyone but novice readers. In line with our previous books, we will use easily recognizable stories that will interest our readers, provide a compelling narrative while imparting valuable information on both the theory and practice of project risk management.By the end of this book, readers will not only understand why project risk management is important to the success of their projects, they will also know how can be implemented in their organization, the appropriate tools to use, and useful appendixes for easy reference.
