Difference between Product risk and Project risk

Product risk involves the possibility that a work product (e.g., a specification, component, system, or test) may fail to satisfy the legitimate needs of its users and/or stakeholders. 

When the product risks are associated with specific quality characteristics of a product (e.g., functional suitability, reliability, performance efficiency, usability, security, compatibility, maintainability, and portability), product risks are also called quality risks.

Project risk involves situations that, should they occur, may have a negative effect on a project's ability to achieve its objectives. 

Here are some examples-

 A. Incorrect totals on reports = product risk 

B. Change to acceptance criteria during acceptance testing = project risk 

C. Users find the soft keyboard too hard to use with your app = product risk

 D. System responds too slowly to user input during search string entry = product risk 

E. Testers not allowed to report test results in daily stand up meetings- Project risk 

F. If the expected security features are not supported by the system architecture, then the system could be seriously flawed - Product risk

G. . If the developers run over budget, or run out of time, that is a problem with the running of the project – Project risk
