'''''Identifying and Managing Project Risk''''' by [[Tom Kendrick]] is a book about identifying and managing risks on projects. It was published on April 25, 2003 by the [[American Management Association]].

== Overview ==

Kendrick's coverage of [[risk]], and more prominently [[uncertainty]], is complete in a general fashion focusing a majority of his discussion on risk in projects due to poor planning and [[change management]] processes.

He uses a collection of project elements from various projects his clients have conducted. He uses this data, Project Experience Risk Information Library (PERIL) database, to quantify and rank classes of risk. In the early part of his book he uses this significantly and the Appendix lists approximately 120 of the element's descriptions.
