Establish quality acceptance criteria for the deliverables of visual workflow board methodology.
Applying Visual Workflow Board Methodology to Improve Project Flow
A concise, decision-focused programme covering visual workflow board methodology end to end.
Course Overview
Projects involving visual workflow board methodology are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. Stakeholders withdraw support for board methodology quietly before they withdraw it formally. The content is relevant to those who own this part of project and portfolio delivery and to those who are held accountable for its results. Participants apply visual workflow board methodology to their own project throughout, so the output is directly usable. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda, not around theory headings. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in board methodology before they become incidents. The version of visual workflow board methodology described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The professional literature on board methodology converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The final module sets out how progress on the practice within project and portfolio delivery will be evidenced six months later.
