Portfolio Management in the Public Sector

Project Management|3 days|Classroom or live online

Portfolio Management in the Public Sector takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including work breakdown structure, scheduling and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because most project failure is visible in the schedule long before it is admitted in the status report, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with quality assurance, stakeholder communication and risk registers in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Bring quality assurance into line with current good practice, measured against the PMBOK guide
Improve stakeholder communication within their own organisation
Make a decision about risk registers without waiting for a specialist
Explain project closure to someone who does not do the work
