Drawing on real-world situations and hundreds of examples, the book outlines proven methods, demonstrating key ideas for project risk planning and showing how to use high-level risk assessment tools. Analyzing aspects such as available resources, project scope, and scheduling, this new edition also explores the growing area of Enterprise Risk Management.

Book Synopsis Project Management by : Ofer Zwikael
Download or read book Project Management written by Ofer Zwikael and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of 2020 PMI David I. Cleland Project Management Literature Award This book is a complete project management toolkit for project leaders in business, research and industry. Projects are approved and financed to generate benefits. Project Management: A Benefit Realisation Approach proposes a complete framework that supports this objective – from project selection and definition, through execution, and beyond implementation of deliverables until benefits are secured. The book is the first to explain the creation of organisational value by suggesting a complete, internally-consistent and theoretically rigorous benefit-focused project management methodology, supported with an analytical technique: benefit engineering. Benefit engineering offers a practical approach to the design and maintenance of an organisation’s project portfolio. Building upon the authors’ earlier successful book, Project Management for the Creation of Organisational Value, this comprehensively revised and expanded new book contains the addition of new chapters on project realisation. The book offers a rigorous explanation of how benefits emerge from a project. This approach is developed and strengthened — resulting in a completely client-oriented view of a project. Senior executives, practitioners, students and academics will find in this book a comprehensive guide to the conduct of projects, which includes robust models, a set of consistent principles, an integrated glossary, enabling tools, illustrative examples and case studies.

Book Synopsis Reducing Unwelcome Surprises in Project Management by : Ranga Ramasesh
Download or read book Reducing Unwelcome Surprises in Project Management written by Ranga Ramasesh and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many project managers and their executive sponsors are surprised when projects go off track: "Why didn't we see that coming?" Even projects that employ sophisticated techniques for risk management have surprising derailments. However, risk management can only manage known risks, and "unknown unknowns" (often called "unk-unks") are lurking in every project. The authors argue, however, that many unk-unks aren't really unk-unks at all. Rather, they are things no one has bothered to find out. Indeed, the authors point out, there are two kinds of unknowns: unknown unknowns (things we don't know we don't know) and known unknowns (things we know we don't know). Every project has some of both. The techniques of conventional risk management apply only to the known unknowns. However, some unk-unks can be converted into known unknowns through a process of directed recognition. The article provides an overview of the targets, methods and tools of directed recognition - the where, why and how. First, the authors introduce six project domains in and around a project where uncertainty resides (and where recognition should occur). Second, they describe the characteristics that increase uncertainty in projects and explain why they make unk-unks more likely. Finally, they present a set of techniques for converting knowable unk-unks into known unknowns. Although unk-unks are by definition things managers don't realize they are missing, it's possible, the authors say, to look at a project and its context and realize that unk-unks are likely to exist - and why. Large, complex projects are more likely to encounter unk-unks than small, simple projects. The more complicated a project seems to the project manager and other participants, the greater the likelihood that something important will be missed, thus increasing the likelihood of unk-unks. Organizations that actively look to uncover unk-unks are more likely to convert them into known unknowns. By providing guidance on where and why unk-unks exist in projects, and how to recognize their clues, managers can reduce the number and magnitude of unwelcome surprises.
