Project risk analysis techniques for forecasting funding requirements, costs and timescales

If an audience of project people presented with a list of projects they have never heard of, is asked to speculate why these projects are in the news, almost everyone will agree it must be because they are late and over budget. That the projects do not exist neatly reveals what it is that people instinctively know about projects: they overspend and overrun. Salkeld argues the reason for this is that projects are probably mis-estimated. The search for a dependable estimate of costs and timescales, and the invocation of tightening management grip and concentrated focus will not bring the desired delivery and budget improvements if funding requirements are under-evaluated. This book shows how to: calculate funding required for a project using risk methods that will generate answers that are more reliable than those provided by traditional estimating; devise risk management plans that will assure the intended outcome of the decision to invest in a project. --

  • "Risk and opportunity are inherent in projects and yet, whilst many organizations invest heavily in project management methodologies and processes in the hope of ensuring delivery on time and to budget, project sponsors, project board members or managers do not see that the root cause of the problem of overspend and late completion could be that their projects were underestimated in the first place. Often the techniques used to calculate the funding and time scales required are inadequate, because they failed to take properly into account the potential effects of risk and opportunity.
