Reader Reviews
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. Comment | | (Report this)
