It considers how success or failure can be defined for a porject. It looksat the historical evidence of projects, illustrating failure to achieve targets. What riskmeans to a project, and how a project team perceive, identify and quantify risk isconsidered - often the crucial credibility-point in practice. Techniques are discussedfor the analysis of risk, to schedule, cost and technical achievement, both separateanalyses and the first steps towards an integrated analysis. Success for the projectparticipation depends on who bears the risks, and the vital role of risk analysis ininforming the contractual allocation of risk is explored. Finally, the managementstructures and procedures needed to manage risk are discussed.Williams, T. M., Empowerment vs. risk management, University of Stratchclyde, Glasgow,UK, International Journal of Project Management, No.4, 1997.It has become popular to call for employee and project team empowerment. However,this paper shows how this competes with another popular concept, project riskmanagement, particularly in modern complex projects. Implementing bothphilosophies leaves the risk manager with an irreconcilable dissonance. The papersuggests a number of steps this implies, including developing project riskmanagement fraroeworks that inform teams about likely cross-impacts, limiting teamempowerment, and allowing teames to influence decisions. It suggests that a goodstyle for the risk manager to adopt is that known as ’accommodation’.Winston, W, Financial Models Using Simulation and Optimization , Indiana University,http://www.palisade.com/html/financial_models.html#ordernowFinancial Models is the most in-depth book written about using @RISK, Evolver andother DecisionTools software products to solve today's complex financial problems.The applications of simulation and optimization in the book are new, novelLitteraturstudium innen tidligfasevurderinger av prosjekter 70
