Course Overview
Stakeholders withdraw support for waste-to-energy projects quietly before they withdraw it formally. Projects involving this area of project and portfolio delivery are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. This programme builds the practice within project and portfolio delivery from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting waste-to-energy projects and under-invest in testing it. Applied research in project and portfolio delivery consistently shows that early structure around this aspect of project and portfolio delivery reduces downstream rework. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of the practice within project and portfolio delivery and supervised application. They leave able to brief senior management on waste-to-energy projects in terms that support a decision. The content is relevant to those who own this aspect of project and portfolio delivery and to those who are held accountable for its results. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this part of project and portfolio delivery rather than a set of notes.
