Most recovery effort on digital transformation in project management is spent on problems that were visible early. Scope on project management expands through small agreements made in isolation. The programme takes participants through the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in digital transformation in project management before they become incidents. Comparative studies of the project and portfolio delivery discipline across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Most organisations already have a policy on project management; far fewer can show it working. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of digital transformation in project management rather than to abstract argument. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for project management. Participants leave with a plan for this aspect of project and portfolio delivery sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
