Course Overview

A schedule for prefabricated construction projects without a critical path is a wish list with dates. Projects involving the practice within project and portfolio delivery are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. The programme works equally well for those formalising this part of project and portfolio delivery for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make prefabricated construction projects hard in practice. Moving this strand of project and portfolio delivery from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of this aspect of project and portfolio delivery to standardise and which to leave flexible. The course sets out a working method for prefabricated construction projects that participants can apply the week they return. Mature organisations treat the project and portfolio delivery capability as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The final session converts the week's work on the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda into commitments with owners and dates.
