About the programme

Course Overview

The documentation for technology budget management is accurate only until the next release. Most outages involving the wider technology and systems delivery agenda are triggered by a change somebody considered routine. The course gives participants a defensible structure for the technology and systems delivery discipline and the judgement to adapt it. The version of technology budget management described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. Across sectors, teams that rehearse the wider technology and systems delivery agenda outperform teams that only plan it. The level assumes working familiarity with the technical platform but no prior formal training in this aspect of technology and systems delivery. They leave able to brief senior management on technology budget management in terms that support a decision. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of the technology and systems delivery discipline and supervised application. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this aspect of technology and systems delivery rather than a set of notes.
