The overall purpose of this fully digitized book is to ensure a harmonized and balanced totality driven perspective
on quality and risk issues in projects. That means to cover the quality on actual product and service as well as on
cost, schedule and business benefit in light of risk, both with respect to threats and opportunities. Management
excellence in the control on cost and schedule is not enough if the focus on quality of the product is lacking, and
the product/service fails to satisfy the specification requirements. This balance is reflected in the build-up of
the book, in which there are initially some general considerations on quality and risk thereafter focusing on the
project specific processes on quality and risk. The structure and content are in full alignment with ISO 9001:2015
Quality management built on the principles of a risk based approach.
Quality and risk are linked to qualitative facts and figures as well as on quantitative matters, covering commercial,
contractual, technical and organisational aspects in projects.
The ambition and purpose with the book are to put emphasis on the manager and leader challenges related to
quality and risk in projects, and how to efficiently contribute to achieve excellent project performance from a busi-
ness, product and efficiency & effectiveness perspective with enhanced confidence and preciseness in decision
making during project planning and execution.
