This is a book in which successful, experienced IT solutions providers talk about their actual practical experiences in IT risk management. Tony Moynihan has asked successful IS/IT project managers to compare and contrast their recent projects in terms of the various important and different factors they had to deal with in each project. Coping with IS/IT Risk Management discusses how to:- handle unrealistic client expectations; - decide on the 'ownership' of a project; - set targets that work in practice! The result is a very well-written, interesting book, which will be enormously helpful to any professional needing to cope with the many and varied problems which can be encountered in IS/IT risk management. About the Author: Tony Moynihan is a Professor at the School of Computer Applications at Dublin City University, researching in the field of software engineering and software project risk-analysis. "This is probably one of the most real, useful, and entertaining books I have ever read on project management." (Robert L Glass, Editor, The Software Practitioner)"In my opinion, this book contains great practical advice to IS/IT project managers, based on the experience of other IT project managers. Tony succeeds in getting project managers to talk about their projects and the associated risks. He then distils these candid interviews into practical advice for other IS/IT project managers." (Nancy Mead, SEI, Carnegie-Mellon University, USA) "A useful book for any project manager to use and to reflect on, as they undertake their day-to-day activities." (Robert Cochran, Director, Centre for Software Engineering, Dublin)
