Project Management, Quality Plan and Risk Management

The present document aims to describe the overall purpose of the project, the project
management and organisation of RefMap. In addition, this handbook outlines the
communication procedures that all the members of the consortium referring to the
RefMap project, need to follow for both the internal and external communication of
information and data. This document is based on the contents that have been defined
in both the Consortium Agreement, that was signed by all members of the consortium,
and the Grant Agreement.
The project organisation and the governance structures are reported in chapter 3
where the decision-making process is explained.
Given these assumptions, the present document provides the guidelines to all partners
for the communication strategies and what is expected by the end of the project
(chapter 4), for the production of all deliverables and documents (chapter 5), the risk
assessment and management of the risky event (chapter 6). It is useful for the partners
as a reference for the quality management of the deliverables and of the other material
produced by the partners in the lifetime of the project.
The RefMap handbook is subjected to a continuous review and will be updated and
changed whenever necessary for the entire lifetime of the project.
