Portfolio Management for Non-Specialists

Project Management|2 days|Classroom or live online

Portfolio Management for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through stakeholder communication and agile and scrum practice without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because organisations run more projects than they have capacity to govern, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with risk registers, resource planning and project closure in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Make a decision about risk registers without waiting for a specialist, measured against agile delivery practice
Take ownership of resource planning rather than escalating it
Bring project closure into line with current good practice
Spot where benefits realisation is failing before it becomes a finding
