Organisationsforandringer sker med så stor hastighed, at det kan være vanskeligt at vurdere relevansen af dem, før de sættes i gang, eller at styre og sikre kvaliteten af forandringerne, når de kører for fuld skrue.Succesrige forandringer opnås gennem kontekstafhængig fleksibel organisering, der involverer organisationens viden, teknologi og menneskelige ressourcer. Det kræver processer, der på én gang skaber kvalitet og ejerskab.Robust organisationsforandring - design og implementering i orkanens øje giver en række teori- og empiribaserede bud på, hvordan man skaber robust organisationsforandring uden på forhånd at kende mål og resultater. Bogen går i dybden med:situationsafstemt forandringkompleksitet i forandringerfrivillig versus tvungen forandringroller i forandringmennesker, der forandresforandring gennem organisatoriske relationeroversættelses- og læreprocesser, som fører til forandringetik og værdier i forandringEndelig sætter bogens sidste kapitel fokus på, at det også er vigtigt at lave en plan for, hvad der skal ske efter forandringen.Bogen er velegnet som grundbog i forandringsledelse og er berigende læsning for studerende såvel som for ledere og konsulenter, som ønsker at skabe robust organisationsforandring.

Agile projekter handler om, hvordan man i praksis arbejder i agile projekter. Agil er at være parat til forandring, hurtigt og hele tiden.Agile projekter fortæller om, hvordan den agile tilgang er opstået og om hvad det vil sige, at et projekt er agilt. Bogen gennemgår et agilt udviklingsforløb; fra før projektet, i begyndelsen af projektet, undervejs i projektet og frem til projektet er slut. Der præsenteres også en række værktøjer og tekniker, især fra metoderne XP og Scrum. Hvert kapitel slutter med en case fra en dansk organisation, så det er nemt at se, hvordan kapitlets indhold kan bruges i praksis. Sidst i bogen ses på agile værktøjer, hvordan det agile kan skalere, og hvordan du kan implementere det agile i din egen organisation.

It. is well known that t.he introduction of a new technology in one organization not always produces the intended benefits (Levine, 1994). In many cases, either the receivers do not reach the intended level of use or simply the technology is rejected because it does not match with the expectations (true or false) and the accepted psychological effort to use it. The case of formal methods is a paradigmatic example of continual failures. The published cases with problems or failures only constitute the visible part of a large iceberg of adoption cases. It. is difficult to get companies to openly express the problems they had; however, from the experience of the author, failure cases are very common and they include any type of company. Many reasons to explain the failures (and in some cases the successes) could be postulated; however, the experiences are not structured enough and it is difficult to extract from them useful guidelines for avoiding future problems. Generally speaking, there is a trend to find the root of the problems in the technol- ogy itself and in its adequacy with the preexistent technological context. Technocratic technology transfer models describe the problems in terms of these aspects. Although it is true that those factors limit the probability of success, there is another source of explanations linked to the individuals and working teams and how they perceive the technology.

This book contains the final results from the fifth Danish Project Management Research Conference (DAPMARC 5), held in Copenhagen in May 2019. The authors presented their papers at the conference in the so-called 'research track'. About 60 practicing project managers gave feedback to the presentations and participated in lively discussions of the papers. Six papers ended up in this book. Hence, six set of authors took up our challenge of increasing the quality and coping with all the issues that were raised at DAPMARC 5. As editors of the book – and co-organisers of the DAPMARC conference – we are very proud to present this book with six chapters of high quality addressing issues at the junction of project leadership and innovation.
