Portfolio Management 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 project reporting and stakeholder communication 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 earned value management, change control and work breakdown structure in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about earned value management without waiting for a specialist, measured against agile delivery practice
- Bring change control into line with current good practice
- Explain work breakdown structure to someone who does not do the work
- Take ownership of resource planning rather than escalating it
