One of the worst books on RM I've read. I think Rita has written too many boring PMP exam prep books. This one is as interesting to read as the PMBOK or the dictionary.

I read the book when I was preparing for my RMP (Risk Management Professional) certificate that is provided by the PMI (Project Management Institute). It is a great book with so many examples. I believe the value that you can get from all the books that were written by Rita Mulcahy is not questionable. Personally, I used her resources when I prepared for my PMP, RMP and SP certificates. Moreover, this book is very useful even if you are just looking for a structured illustration of the risk management process when managing projects as recommended by the PMI. You can also use the book if you want to compare and contrast this methodology with other risk management methodologies.
A highly recommended book for any project manager.

Maybe this is Rita Mulcahy's book that I like less. Anyway, it is the book I used to prepare for the PMI RMP certification... and I passed :)

Talvez esse seja o livro da Rita Mulcahy que eu gosto menos. De qualquer forma, esse foi o livro que eu utilizei para me preparar para a certificação PMI RMP... e eu fui aprovado :)
