Collaborative Risk Mitigation Through Construction Planning and Scheduling
«Lana Coble is one of those rare technical talents that can explain concepts but also mentor folks in how to pull them off successfully. Read this book several times. It’s like a good novel, you will learn something new each time.»
Wayne O'Neill
In the complex, cash-strapped, high pressure world of modern construction, what do you do when something goes wrong? This work looks beyond the best-case scenario to give project managers, contractors, architects and engineers the tools to prepare effectively for the unexpected. Les mer
Based on the author's more than thirty-five years of construction management experience, the book shows how to proactively mitigate a schedule. It opens with case studies of real life construction mitigation, and goes on to examine the conceptual aspects of anticipating risks and making contingency plans, technical aspects of scheduling, and essential role of communication in change management.
Working on the principle that no major project can ever quite go to plan and that "it's not how you start, it's how you finish," Collaborative Risk Mitigation is the ideal complement to traditional scheduling textbooks.

«Lana’s depth of experience makes her extremely qualified to walk the reader through the challenges of large capital projects. She brings case-study experience to illuminate her concepts and assist the reader to better comprehend the ideas she wishes to share.»
Sidney J Sanders
«For readers who are already familiar with the fundamentals of project scheduling and know how to use the appropriate software, Coble offers real-world strategy and implementation measures to avoid risk in the construction project schedule. She covers whether a project has ever gone as planned, who benefits from planning and how, real construction mitigation case studies, risk management matrix, communicating the project schedule and change management, contingency planning, implementing mitigation measures through technological application of the computing scheduling software, and whether the planning met the desired deadline.»
