Stakeholders withdraw support for government digital transformation projects quietly before they withdraw it formally. A schedule for transformation projects without a critical path is a wish list with dates. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on government digital transformation projects and revise it on evidence. The course sets out a working method for this area of project and portfolio delivery that participants can apply the week they return. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about transformation projects in their own setting. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better government digital transformation projects is rarely technical. Moving transformation projects from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the practice within project and portfolio delivery that participants can repeat annually.
