Reviews
'This is a well-researched and authoritative book on managing risks in projects. It is written by an acknowledged expert who has devoted his lifetime career to the study and application of risk management. Its approach is aligned with the international standard, "Risk Management Principles and Guidelines", ISO 31000, and it presents key principles for managing project risks. However, the unique feature is its structure, based on 22 practical guidelines, called rules . The author suggests that, as an alternative to reading the book cover to cover, the reader might prefer to peruse individual rules when time permits. Anyone involved in project or risk management should read this book.' Mike Nichols, Founder and Chairman of The Nichols Group, Chairman of the Association for Project Management and Board Member of the Major Projects Association 'Rob Chapman's book is highly unusual but completely invaluable in taking a case study based approach to a subject that often is confused by an excess of jargon and process. Dr Chapman draws on an extensive international range of real projects to demonstrate how things can so easily go wrong, and what project managers can learn from high profile failures. I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone involved in project and programme management.' Steve Fowler, CEO, The Institute of Risk Management, UK 'A unique combination of the foundations of project management and the latest trend in risk management standardisation with clear alignment with the ISO 31000 risk management standard.' Alex Dali, President, The Global Institute for Risk Management Standards, France 'More than ever, larger, more complex and more expensive projects are required in a severely constrained global economy. The Rules of Project Risk Management is essential reading, not merely for the project management professional but for all stakeholders who have a keen interest in leveraging better results from project investments.
