Course Overview

Stakeholders withdraw support for heritage restoration projects quietly before they withdraw it formally. A schedule for the practice within project and portfolio delivery without a critical path is a wish list with dates. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for the project and portfolio delivery capability, not for observers of it. The programme takes participants through heritage restoration projects end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of this strand of project and portfolio delivery and supervised application. The professional literature on the project and portfolio delivery capability converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about heritage restoration projects under scrutiny. Buying a tool rarely fixes this strand of project and portfolio delivery; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the project and portfolio delivery capability sustainable.
