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.br /Devasish

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.

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. pAs 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. pLack 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.pBest of all, it offer dozens of examples of real life risks and risk responses across a variety of industries.pAll in all, highly recommended for anyone needing to develop risk management processes or trying to improve their risk management skills.

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!
