Course Overview

Scope on franchise expansion projects expands through small agreements made in isolation. Projects involving the project and portfolio delivery capability are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda rather than to abstract argument. Applied research in project and portfolio delivery consistently shows that early structure around franchise expansion projects reduces downstream rework. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about this strand of project and portfolio delivery under scrutiny. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this part of project and portfolio delivery, not for observers of it. It establishes a shared vocabulary for franchise expansion projects so that teams can disagree productively about it. Plans for this strand of project and portfolio delivery often fail at the handover point between functions. Participants leave with a plan for the project and portfolio delivery capability sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
