Monitoring and Evaluation for Managers
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers work breakdown structure and earned value management from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because most project failure is visible in the schedule long before it is admitted in the status report, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with scope definition, resource planning and project closure in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Put scope definition on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against agile delivery practice
- Improve resource planning within their own organisation
- Review project closure and say plainly whether it is working
- Take ownership of portfolio prioritisation rather than escalating it
