Course Overview

Scope on medical device development projects expands through small agreements made in isolation. Stakeholders withdraw support for development projects quietly before they withdraw it formally. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of the project and portfolio delivery capability is examined, not just described. Progress on medical device development projects is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. This programme builds this area of project and portfolio delivery from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Mature organisations treat development projects as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. It suits anyone whose decisions touch medical device development projects, in large organisations and small ones alike. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what development projects has actually achieved. The final session converts the week's work on the project and portfolio delivery capability into commitments with owners and dates.
