Excellent book As with any other Rita book, this is also no expection. The best part is you can use the book practically. It is not just theory part, and figure out how to implement. And since it is aligned with PMBOK, there is no better book on risk management that I could have asked for. Devasish
The practical Risk Management techniques This book is really made to get a practical view of: What the Risk Management is How to collect risks How to handle risks How to make sure the risks are under control
As this book is based onto the PMI best practices (coming from the PMBOK), it is a best in class learning book for Project Managers: Real Project Managers.
Easy to Read and Understand Good book for those new to Risk Management and a great refresher for those with more experience. It was nice to have so many "Tricks of the Trade" available in one book.
Finally an in-depth text on Risk Management Rita Mulcahy, whose PMP Exam Prep book and material has helped many people pass the PMP exam, has come through again -- this time with an in-depth study on Risk Management.
As expected, the book observes PMI standards, but more than that, it shows how risk can be managed effectively in the real world, using specific examples.
Lack of effective risk management is one of the leading causes of project failure, and all too often, risk management is ignored altogether - perceived as an expensive burden. This book takes a realistic approach, examining both full scale risk management (including quantitative methods) and the minimum effective risk management needed for project success. In many industries, that's all that's needed.
Best of all, it offer dozens of examples of real life risks and risk responses across a variety of industries.
All in all, highly recommended for anyone needing to develop risk management processes or trying to improve their risk management skills.
Definite must-read for risk! I have recently changed work venues from biopharmaceuticals to construction/engineering, and this book has proved invaluable to help me get my arms around the risk issues for my new workplace. I definitely recommend it for anyone studying risk, particularly as a supplement to the information available to those preparing for the PMP exam. It's easy to read, and will make a great addition to anyone's project management reference library!
