Risk management is one of the most important practices that a
manager can employ to help drive a successful outcome from a
project. Good risk management allows organizations to proactively
respond to risks. Unfortunately, many managers believe risk
management to be too time consuming or too complicated. Some find
it to be shrouded in mystery. This book is designed to demystify
risk management, explaining introductory and advanced risk
management approaches in simple language. To illustrate the risk
management concepts and techniques, this book uses real-life
examples from a very influential project that helped change the
course of world history -- the project that designed and built the
Polaris missile and accompanying submarine launch system that
became a key deterrent to a Soviet nuclear attack during the Cold
War. The Polaris design and construction project employed many risk
management approaches, inventing one that is still widely used
today. Containing a foreword by James R. Snyder, one of the
founders of the Project Management Institute (PMI), this book is
structured to align with the risk management approach described in
PMI's the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide).
