Identifying and Managing Project Risk: Essential Tools for Failure-Proofing Your Project Hardcover – March 25, 2015

I am a student nearing completion of the author's project management certificate program offered via UC Berkeley Extension. Kendrick's text is the best one I've read thus far in my coursework. Clear and well written, it's easy to grasp the concepts drawn from Kendrick's hands on project management experience. While project management scopes, schedules and plans resources to achieve project requirements, Kendrick makes clear the essence of successful project management is having the agility to properly assess and respond to the risks and opportunities inherent in all projects and particularly complex, long duration technology projects.

A great read, plenty of examples and repetition to concrete main points of each chapter. Just what i was looking for

This is a very good book if you are serious about managing risks on projects. Lots of reading, it's a big book. Definitely not on the order of "Risk Management for Dummies" simplicity. The end of chapter stories using the Panama Canal to reinforce points was the one drawback. There have to be more modern and relevant projects to use to reinforce the concepts better.

As a university faculty member, I am using this book as the primary text for my undgraduate course in risk management. I have found it to be comprehensive, current, and readily understandable by my students. Many of them have commented that they will be holding on to the book as part of their professional library.

Its a textbook. Referenced it a lot for class, but didn't exactly use it for light enjoyable reading.

Kendrick does a great job of making project risk interesting. I have read many other books on the topic and can safely say this one is one of the better ones. There are many references to real scenarios and up to date examples. Decent documentation on the PERIL database as well.

Thank you for this book!

Very complete, well structured, easy to follow and understand. This is not a simple topic and can be overdone, but in spite of being a bit academic at times, is well covered in this book.
