Risk up Front

Managing Projects in a Complex World

By: Adam Josephs, Brad Rubenstein

Narrated by: Jonathan Schweizer

The ability to relentlessly identify and mitigate risk. That is the key to high-performance project teams.

Successful projects depend more on your team's behavior than on their project tools.

This audiobook focuses on the fundamentals: simple structures and practices, applied with rigor. These are the tools you need to avoid the late changes that kill project schedules. Underlying all of them are four principles: accountability, transparency, integrity, and commitment. Risk up Front is designed to turn these principles into practice.

Murphy's Law tells us, "If anything can go wrong, it will." With Risk up Front, even risks hiding in your team's blind spot can be discovered and handled before Murphy has a chance.

Amazing, practical guide to project management

As someone managing a project for the first time, this has been the perfect tool to make sure everything is delivered correctly and on time. This has been a lot more straightforward than other tools I've used, providing extremely specific tips and techniques to apply in every phase of a project. I'm been referencing it constantly, and it's working so far.

The audiobook's quality is also great. I've personally found also having the physical book useful, so I can quickly go back to the definitions/appendix.

OK Read

The book was not very insightful. It had some good reminders, but was not overly inspiring.
