3Long way to go  Jun 07, 2008 By A customer
Currently, books on project risk management are still in their infancy, and this book is no exception. The treatment is still inadequate in many areas such as market, financial, or contractual risks. Further, there is a tendency to claim a generic approach when it is clearly not possible; risks in different industries need to be managed differently. My advice is to read the specialized books in your area, such as construction contracts if you are in construction. Amazingly, risk allocation is written into contracts, and yet existing books on project risk management tend to neglect contracts. Perhaps the authors are unfamiliar with this area.

1Project Risk Management  Feb 05, 2009 By PM Advocate "PM Advocate"
Not a bad or totally inferior book, but it is hard to understand how this book can make a contribution to someone who has an interest in project risk management. Everything in the book is rehashed information, and not particularly well presented. In other words, it does not offer an advantage over other books on project risk management. Very few really meaningful examples and exercises.


3Practical book for Project Manager  Feb 13, 2011 By Áki
The book combine project managers effort in managing project and risk issues and companies culture. The quotation in a nother author who advise peoble to ask the question " who is at risk" to guide the risk assesment to the right stakeholder and to connect risk to cost and time. I like like the statement " PM often overestimate what they know and underestamate what they don't know" that is the major risk in any projects. Practical book for experienced project manager and very good for teachers.


4Project Risk Management (Project Management)  Aug 31, 2009 By Jeffrey I. Smith
Outstanding for Risk in Project Management. We used two different books for Risk class. However this book was by far the better book for details and the ability to get the point across. I would recommend this book for anyone studying Risk Management for Projects.
