It aims to: Effectively communicate a conceptual and philosophical understanding of risk; Establish the nature of projects and the stakeholders involved in them; Present a systematic and logically progressive approach to the processes of project risk management; Discover the drivers of project risks and the factors which shape them; Emphasise the importance of capturing and exploiting project risk knowledge; Provide guidance about implementing and building (or improving) project risk management systems in organisations"-- Provided by publisher.
