Scope on edge computing projects expands through small agreements made in isolation. Stakeholders withdraw support for the project and portfolio delivery discipline quietly before they withdraw it formally. It establishes a shared vocabulary for this aspect of project and portfolio delivery so that teams can disagree productively about it. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting edge computing projects and under-invest in testing it. They acquire practical criteria for judging when the project and portfolio delivery discipline is working and when it is only appearing to. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of the project and portfolio delivery capability is examined, not just described. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for edge computing projects, not for observers of it. Organisations that document the practice within project and portfolio delivery properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this part of project and portfolio delivery that participants can repeat annually.
