Will My Project Survive the Pandemic?

If project management needs good planning, project risk management is necessary to be ready in the situation so vividly described by Mike Tyson - "everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face".

When the world is in the grip of a pandemic, uncertainties multiply - and so do the risks that threaten the execution of your plans.

Whether you are

• a project manager who is struggling to keep the project going during exceptional times;
• a student preparing for a certification who wants to develop a reliable, effective mental model first - and then leverage it to easily grasp and memorize complex details;
• a subject matter expert called to manage a project, challenged by the intrinsic uncertainty that surrounds your areas of expertise;
• a risk management expert who wants to quickly adopt the perspective of a project manager;

this book will help you

1. identify the threats posed by the pandemic to your project;
2. assess their criticality and prioritize the actions to be undertaken;
3. define measures to avoid them or mitigate their impact.

For all readers, the book offers a streamlined but comprehensive perspective of how risks affect a project – and, most importantly, to ensure its success.
