About the programme

Course Overview

Most recovery effort on foundational project management accreditation is spent on problems that were visible early. A schedule for management accreditation without a critical path is a wish list with dates. Progress on this aspect of project and portfolio delivery is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. The programme converts foundational project management accreditation from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to the practice within project and portfolio delivery in an order their organisation can absorb. Where management accreditation is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make foundational project management accreditation hard in practice. The programme suits teams tackling management accreditation together as readily as individuals attending alone. The final module sets out how progress on the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda will be evidenced six months later.
