Course Overview

Scope on international sporting championship projects expands through small agreements made in isolation. A schedule for championship projects without a critical path is a wish list with dates. Every module pairs a short input on this aspect of project and portfolio delivery with structured practice on the participant's own material. The programme suits teams tackling international sporting championship projects together as readily as individuals attending alone. The most reliable predictor of sound the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. Plans for championship projects often fail at the handover point between functions. The course gives participants a defensible structure for international sporting championship projects and the judgement to adapt it. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in championship projects before they become incidents. The final module sets out how progress on this strand of project and portfolio delivery will be evidenced six months later.
