Fundamentals of Programme Management
2 days|Delivered on request
Fundamentals of Programme Management is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through earned value management and scope definition without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because most project failure is visible in the schedule long before it is admitted in the status report, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with portfolio prioritisation, scheduling and project closure in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where portfolio prioritisation is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against earned value management
- Put scheduling on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Make a decision about project closure without waiting for a specialist
- Explain project initiation to someone who does not do the work
