and pretty obvious treatments

Verified Purchase

This was an optional text for a class I'm taking, so I bought it. Very few ailments diagnosed by the Risk Doc, and pretty obvious treatments.

Hilson has a better book, Managing Risks In Projects (2009), where he delves into the nature of risks, causes, risk management strategies.
