Align quantum computing readiness projects with the wider objectives of the project rather than optimising it in isolation.
Leading Readiness Projects for Building Quantum Computing Capability
A concise, decision-focused programme covering quantum computing readiness projects end to end.
Course Overview
Projects involving quantum computing readiness projects are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. The estimate for readiness projects that nobody challenged is usually the one that fails. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda and under-invest in testing it. They acquire practical criteria for judging when quantum computing readiness projects is working and when it is only appearing to. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this aspect of project and portfolio delivery, not for observers of it. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a delivery plan for readiness projects as they go. The programme converts quantum computing readiness projects from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place readiness projects among the areas with the widest performance spread. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the project and portfolio delivery capability that participants can repeat annually.

Course Modules
Quantum computing readiness projects: change control and variation
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Closing quantum computing readiness projects and capturing what was learned
- Close out actions on quantum computing readiness projects rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
- Establish who is informed, consulted and accountable in readiness projects.
- Record what was learned when quantum computing readiness projects did not go as planned.
- Set the change control process for readiness projects and require cost and time impact.
Session 2Escalation and decision rights in readiness projects
- Draft the minimum viable delivery plan for quantum computing readiness projects.
- Define acceptance criteria for each deliverable of readiness projects.
- Arrange the handover of quantum computing readiness projects so capability survives staff changes.
- Manage supplier performance on readiness projects against contract, not goodwill.
Readiness projects: handover, benefits and lessons
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1The risks to readiness projects nobody wants to raise
- Rehearse the briefing on quantum computing readiness projects that would follow an incident.
- Name a single owner for each element of readiness projects.
- Confirm that contractual obligations around quantum computing readiness projects are understood.
- Build reporting on readiness projects that surfaces problems while they are small.
Session 2Keeping stakeholders of readiness projects genuinely supportive
- Prepare the recovery plan for quantum computing readiness projects before it is needed.
- Compare the cost of readiness projects with the cost of its absence.
- Map stakeholders of quantum computing readiness projects by influence and current level of support.
- Archive the decision record for readiness projects so successors understand it.
Readiness projects: progress measurement and early warning
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Writing the scope of readiness projects including what is excluded
- Write the scope statement for quantum computing readiness projects including explicit exclusions.
- Measure progress on readiness projects by value earned, not tasks ticked.
- Review at each gate whether quantum computing readiness projects should continue at all.
- Plan the sequence in which improvements to readiness projects will be introduced.
Session 2Building a schedule for quantum computing readiness projects with a real critical path
- Register the risks to quantum computing readiness projects with owner, probability and impact.
- Estimate readiness projects using two independent methods and reconcile the difference.
- Benchmark the organisation's quantum computing readiness projects against comparable operations.
- Identify the critical path through readiness projects and the float elsewhere.
Readiness projects: scope definition and exclusions
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1What has to be agreed before work on readiness projects starts
