Strategic Portfolio Management
5 days|Delivered on request
Strategic Portfolio Management looks at this work from the level at which it is resourced and defended. The focus is on critical path analysis, earned value management and how both connect to what the organisation is actually trying to achieve. This matters at the strategic level because most project failure is visible in the schedule long before it is admitted in the status report. Delegates leave able to work confidently with agile and scrum practice, project closure and resource planning in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Explain agile and scrum practice to someone who does not do the work, measured against agile delivery practice
- Make a decision about project closure without waiting for a specialist
- Take ownership of resource planning rather than escalating it
