Course Overview
The estimate for wind farm grid connection projects that nobody challenged is usually the one that fails. Scope on connection projects expands through small agreements made in isolation. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of this area of project and portfolio delivery to standardise and which to leave flexible. This programme builds wind farm grid connection projects from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting this strand of project and portfolio delivery and under-invest in testing it. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of connection projects and prepares them for it. The content is relevant to those who own wind farm grid connection projects and to those who are held accountable for its results. Mature organisations treat connection projects as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The final module sets out how progress on the project and portfolio delivery discipline will be evidenced six months later.
