Key additions include:
A hybrid CPM schedule-based QRA method, supported by a detailed worked example (courtesy of Mr. Colin Cropley).
Three case histories illustrating various methods in different contexts.
Insights into ValidRisk(R) software supporting the book's methodologies.
A forward-looking review of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications in cost and schedule QRA.
