Project Cost Control in the Public Sector
3 days|Delivered on request
Project Cost Control in the Public Sector takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including risk registers, project reporting 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 work breakdown structure, change control and scope definition in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where work breakdown structure is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against earned value management
- Make a decision about change control without waiting for a specialist
