This Guidebook presents a systematic process to apply risk analysis tools and management practices to aid SHA management in controlling project cost growth. The Guidebook addresses risk identification, assessment, analysis, mitigation, allocation, and tracking and control in a manner that is systematically integrated into the organizational structure and culture of U.S.

The use of risk assessment, cost estimating, cost management, and cost containment techniques at the earliest stages in the project development process will yield substantial value to a SHA. Cost engineering research has repeatedly demonstrated that the ability to influence and manage cost is greatest at the earliest stages in a project development ("Pre-Project Planning: Beginning a Project the Right Way" 1994)

Chapter 4 presents the framework that will be applied in the subsequent chapters. Chapters 5, 6, and 7 -- "Guide to the Planning Phase," "Guide to the Programming Phase," and "Guide to the Design Phase," respectively, focus on the application of the fundamental concepts presented in Chapters 2, 3, and 4.

If policy changes in risk analysis and management practices are necessary, then these managers should read Chapters 2, 3, 4, and the relevant Chapter 5, 6, and/or 7, depending on implementation issues. For example, planning directors can focus on Chapter 5, "Guide to the Planning Phase," while managers of engineering and environmental programs should focus on Chapter 7, "Guide to the Design Phase." 1.4.3 Project Implementation Project-level managers, engineers, and discipline leaders (e.g., the chiefs of sections such as design, right-of-way, and/or estimating)
