Course Overview

Projects involving mixed-use development projects are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. Most recovery effort on this part of project and portfolio delivery is spent on problems that were visible early. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on the project and portfolio delivery capability and revise it on evidence. Where mixed-use development projects is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. A common pattern is strong design of the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda paired with weak follow-through. The level assumes working familiarity with the project but no prior formal training in the project and portfolio delivery discipline. Participants test their assumptions about mixed-use development projects against scenarios designed to break weak ones. It treats the practice within project and portfolio delivery as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this part of project and portfolio delivery that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
