Course Overview

The estimate for museum and cultural facility projects that nobody challenged is usually the one that fails. Projects involving facility projects are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. The course covers this part of project and portfolio delivery at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. The version of museum and cultural facility projects described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. It suits anyone whose decisions touch the project and portfolio delivery discipline, in large organisations and small ones alike. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about facility projects under scrutiny. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about museum and cultural facility projects in their own setting. Practitioner evidence points the same way: facility projects improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. The final module sets out how progress on this aspect of project and portfolio delivery will be evidenced six months later.
