Course Overview

A schedule for electric vehicle development projects without a critical path is a wish list with dates. Most recovery effort on development projects is spent on problems that were visible early. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of this aspect of project and portfolio delivery and prepares them for it. The programme works equally well for those formalising electric vehicle development projects for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in this part of project and portfolio delivery that were visible long before the incident. They acquire practical criteria for judging when development projects is working and when it is only appearing to. The difficulty is not agreeing that electric vehicle development projects matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. The course sets out a working method for development projects that participants can apply the week they return. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the project and portfolio delivery capability broken into steps someone can start on Monday.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Prepare a short, evidence-based briefing on electric vehicle development projects for senior management.

02

Control change to development projects so every variation has a price and a decision.

03

Identify and quantify the risks to electric vehicle development projects and assign owners.

04

Integrate development projects into existing management routines rather than running it separately.

05

Close electric vehicle development projects properly and capture lessons while they are still accurate.

06

Build the reporting on development projects that gives early warning rather than reassurance.

07

Compare the organisation's handling of electric vehicle development projects with recognised practice, and close the material gaps.
