About the Book
If any other part of business failed this much
they would get fired!
If one of your business colleagues told you that they had a success rate of 70%, what would you say to them? “Pretty good, but could do better” might be one thing you’d say. What if they told you that their failure rate was 70%? What would you say then?
Fewer than one third of projects are delivered successfully, on time and within budget. Most projects either come in late and over budget or else are cancelled before completion. These projects cost their companies a fortune and this problem isn’t getting much better. If you want to get better at managing projects you’ll need to know how to manage project risks.
In “Managing Project Risks” you’ll discover:
- Project Management’s dirty little secret – many of our failures are largely preventable;
- Why risk management is the secret to delivering projects on time;
- The key tools and techniques that you can use to take control on your project;
- How you can become an expert at spotting and defusing risks;
- How you can overcome even difficult projects by managing project risks.
