Course Overview
Most recovery effort on post-acquisition technical integration is spent on problems that were visible early. Projects involving the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. Participants leave with a method for the project and portfolio delivery discipline, not a set of opinions about it. Moving post-acquisition technical integration from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. They acquire practical criteria for judging when this part of project and portfolio delivery is working and when it is only appearing to. The programme works equally well for those formalising this aspect of project and portfolio delivery for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Mature organisations treat post-acquisition technical integration as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from the practice within project and portfolio delivery, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this aspect of project and portfolio delivery that participants can repeat annually.
