Review :
' ...provides solid, practical, jargon-free advice on how to recognise the warning signs that could undermine a project and what to do about it. Warmly recommended.' Future Filter ' ... an excellent introduction to risk management, particularly for newcomers to the subject ... includes all they need to know to get started. ... also contains some novel aspects of interest to the more experienced practitioner.' IEE Review ' ... an excellent guide for project managers' Aslib Book Guide '... a useful addition to the project risk management literature. Its style is informal and easy to read ... a worthwhile complement to anyone's risk management library.' International Journal of Project Management 'recommended to those requiring a practical introduction to the subject ... there is much to admire about the book, not least of which is its clear and, in some cases, novel approach to what can sometimes be a very daunting and complex area ... I can highly recommend this book as a practical introduction to risk management' IMIS Journal, December 1999
