| | Description | There's a good reason project risk management is one of the most vital of the nine content areas of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (TM). Important projects tend to be time constrained, pose huge technical challenges, and suffer from a lack of adequate resources. It's no wonder that project managers are increasingly focusing their attention on risk identification. Identifying and Managing Project Risk is a practical guide to minimizing the possibility of failure in critical projects. The book takes readers step by step through every phase of a project, showing them how to consider the possible risks involved at every point in the process. Relevant figures and diagrams support the text and illustrate key scenarios. At the end of each chapter is an analysis of how the principles just discussed applied to a supreme example of what many once considered a truly impossible project: the building of the Panama Canal. Packed with real-world information, this book is essential reading for any project manager seeking to complete projects smoothly and successfully. | |

 Some interesting information Jul 28, 2010
This is a very readable book that provides some good overviews of managing risk. There are more in depth books out there, but this is a worthy addition to a project manager's bookshelf.
Recommended.

For senior management too Feb 23, 2009
I like the overall approach and emphasis on risk management. They are addressed intuitively to a smaller or greater degree but without the rigor needed. This book brings out the need for discipline of risk management. The transformational part of the lesson is around Portfolio and Enterprise risk management - making risk management processes a building block for organizational learning. A powerful concept brought out in the book making it relevant for senior management teams

The Definitive Book on Risk for Project Managers Sep 04, 2008
Having purchased close to a thousand copies of this book is an indicator of how much I value it's contents. I regularly teach project risk management and this is the text provided to supplement the course. It is an easy read and provides practical, implementable guidance.
The Risk Questionaaire provided is a valuable framework that can be easily tailored to your organization.
This book should be a part of every project managers library.

 In search of good books on managing project risks Jun 03, 2008
This book provides an overview on how to manage certain types of project risks (some risks are not covered, e.g. financial) and, implicitly, only IT projects and not other types of projects (e.g. construction). Like many books on this topic, the treatment is uneven. The strengths are its logical structure and clear exposition. I knocked off 2 stars because a) there is a disconnect between the text (mostly IT-related) and case study (building of Panama Canal), and b) neglect of contractual issues, the key instrument of risk management. This is the book for you to read if you have no idea about project risk management.
