Course Overview
A schedule for tax digitisation projects without a critical path is a wish list with dates. Scope on this part of project and portfolio delivery expands through small agreements made in isolation. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in this strand of project and portfolio delivery rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about tax digitisation projects. The course gives participants a defensible structure for the project and portfolio delivery capability and the judgement to adapt it. Plans for this aspect of project and portfolio delivery often fail at the handover point between functions. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with tax digitisation projects. The professional literature on the practice within project and portfolio delivery converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this aspect of project and portfolio delivery rather than a set of notes.
