This new edition of Project Risk Management Guidelines has been fully updated to include the new international standards, ISO 31000 Risk management and IEC 62198 Managing risk in projects. The book explains the standards and how they can be applied. It provides a clear introduction to basic project risk management, introduces the reader to specialized areas of projects and procurement, and shows how quantitative risk analysis methods can be used in large projects. Chapter by chapter, the authors present simple, practical steps and illustrate them with examples drawn from their extensive experience from around the world, in many different industry sectors and cultures and at all stages of projects from conception through development and into execution. Qualitative and quantitative approaches are covered. Traditional structures and processes are discussed as well as developments in the way projects are conducted, such as outsourcing arrangements and risk-sharing structures like public–private partnerships. Improved outcomes can be achieved when sound risk management is used to capture opportunities and reduce threats. Its unique focus and wealth of checklists, tables and other resources make this book an essential and enduring tool for anyone involved with project work.

ISO 31000: Enterprise Risk Management is the first book to address 1. Risk based, problem solving (RB - PS) and 2. Risk based, decision making (RB -DM), which are the basis for ISO Risk Based Thinking.ISO 31000 RB - PS and RB - DM are the basis for all risk management and are discussed throughout the book.ISO 31000 ERM is a game changer book. Why?* ERM enables executive management to identify and prioritize strategic goals and strategic risks. * ERM promotes a risk aware culture that identifies investment (upside risk) opportunities.* ERM provides the organization the means to align risk strategy, processes, technology, people, and knowledge for the purpose of identify-ing, assessing, and managing uncertainties in the execution of its risk vision and mission critical objectives.* ERM allows for a consistent, repeatable, and scalable approach across the organization and into the supply chain. * ERM enables the organization to more effectively and efficiently man-age enterprise risks. * ERM enables executive management to consider tradeoffs between risks, pursue opportunities (upside risk), determine associated costs, and balance value creation across the enterprise.* ERM processes provide actionable steps for the organization to make its ISO 31000 risk management process more capable and mature. * ERM enables risk owners to identify and assess risks and evaluate their impact on the organization's ability to achieve its mission critical objectives.* ERM develops and implements an effective ISO 31000 risk management framework and risk management process across the enterprise to enhance stakeholder value.* ERM involves architecting, designing, implementing, and assuring policies, processes, capabilities, and responsibilities to identify key risks and effectively treat the risks within the organization's risk appetite.
