About the programme

Course Overview

A schedule for enterprise agile transformation without a critical path is a wish list with dates. The estimate for the practice within project and portfolio delivery that nobody challenged is usually the one that fails. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting the project and portfolio delivery capability and under-invest in testing it. They leave able to brief senior management on enterprise agile transformation in terms that support a decision. The course covers this area of project and portfolio delivery at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make the practice within project and portfolio delivery hard in practice. Across sectors, teams that rehearse enterprise agile transformation outperform teams that only plan it. The programme suits teams tackling this strand of project and portfolio delivery together as readily as individuals attending alone. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the project and portfolio delivery discipline that would make a visible difference.
