Close legal liability in project management properly and capture lessons while they are still accurate.
Legal Legislation and Civil Liability in Project Management
Move legal liability in project management from general awareness to a repeatable, reviewable practice.
Course Overview
Projects involving legal liability in project management are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. The estimate for project management that nobody challenged is usually the one that fails. Applied research in project and portfolio delivery consistently shows that early structure around the practice within project and portfolio delivery reduces downstream rework. Moving legal liability in project management from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about this part of project and portfolio delivery in their own setting. It is written for people who have to make project management work with the resources they already have. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what legal liability in project management has actually achieved. It concentrates on the parts of project management that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this strand of project and portfolio delivery that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
