Course Overview

A schedule for national emergency response projects without a critical path is a wish list with dates. The estimate for response projects that nobody challenged is usually the one that fails. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on the project and portfolio delivery discipline are used deliberately. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better national emergency response projects is rarely technical. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of this area of project and portfolio delivery and supervised application. Plans for response projects often fail at the handover point between functions. This programme builds national emergency response projects from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on response projects and revise it on evidence. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the project and portfolio delivery capability survives a hostile question.
