Identifying and Managing Project Risk 4th Edition

Reviews

'As project managers progress in their careers, from leading small initiatives to taking responsibility for large-scale strategic deliverables, many realize that they lack sufficient expertise in dealing with inevitable volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity factors (VUCA) which could thwart their goals. This book by a knowledgeable, articulate veteran with an outstanding professional track record provides comprehensive, clear, and useful instructions.'

'I believe this is a great book, and I will be recommending it to my project management students. I think is well structured, and what I liked most are: the Panama Canal Case study, the clarity of the diagrams, the key points at the end of each chapter, and the clear flow of the book.'

'One of the best business books on the market to expose readers to the 'Uh-oh's' and 'What-ifs' of any business undertaking. Kendrick does an extremely thorough job at peeling the onion back to expose multiple layers of uncertainty. Having used the previous version as a textbook for our undergraduate Construction Risk Management course, I am delighted to be able to include this latest version in the course syllabus.'

'The best handbook we know of is now even better -- an invaluable resource for anyone practicing program or project risk management. Tom's World-class PERIL database is priceless.'

'This book provides really valuable insight with small theoretical components brought to light by large real world practical examples. Each chapter enables a concept to be truly understood and applied. Essential reading for any project team if they want to improve their project outcomes.'

'This book shows you what to do, with examples at each step of the process. There is a full explanation of risk implications for scope, schedule and resources, as well as common risk mitigation strategies that will help you get a head start in knowing what to do about your project risks. If you've ever wondered how to 'do' risk management, this book will make it completely clear and save you from the headaches of, 'If only we'd thought about that in advance.'

'Identifying and Managing Project Risk is the most comprehensive project risk playbook I have ever seen. If you use just one book as a reference, this should be it.'
