"When first published in 1997, Chris Chapman and Stephen Ward’s Project Risk Management instantly became a classic in the field, bringing risk management in a systematic manner into the mainstream for the management of projects. Their second edition of this seminal work is a tour de force - a comprehensive, lucid, and highly readable guide to one of the thorniest aspects of managing projects. Their book is a combination of leading edge scholarship coupled with strong, practical advice for project managers. I found useful insights on nearly every page." ?Jeffrey K. Pinto, Ph.D. Bree
