Long way to go,
This review is from: Project Risk Management (Project Management) (Paperback)
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.

This review is from: Project Risk Management (Project Management) (Paperback)
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.

Practical book for Project Manager,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Project Risk Management (Project Management) (Paperback)
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.
