Course Overview
Scope on desalination and wastewater projects expands through small agreements made in isolation. Projects involving wastewater projects are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in the practice within project and portfolio delivery that were visible long before the incident. Buying a tool rarely fixes desalination and wastewater projects; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. It establishes a shared vocabulary for this area of project and portfolio delivery so that teams can disagree productively about it. Participants who influence wastewater projects without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Participants finish able to explain desalination and wastewater projects to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about wastewater projects in their own setting. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda that the participant is prepared to defend internally.

Estimate cost and effort for desalination and wastewater projects using more than one method.
Plan the handover of wastewater projects so that capability is not lost when key staff move on.
Plan handover and benefit realisation for desalination and wastewater projects.

Desalination and wastewater projects: schedule, critical path and realistic duration
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Estimating desalination and wastewater projects without anchoring on the answer wanted
- Prepare the summary of desalination and wastewater projects that senior management will read.
- Rank the weaknesses in wastewater projects by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
- Build reporting on desalination and wastewater projects that surfaces problems while they are small.
- Write the scope statement for wastewater projects including explicit exclusions.
Session 2Where wastewater projects typically breaks, and why
- Define how the benefit from desalination and wastewater projects will be measured after closure.
- Identify the critical path through wastewater projects and the float elsewhere.
- Review at each gate whether desalination and wastewater projects should continue at all.
- Measure progress on wastewater projects by value earned, not tasks ticked.
Wastewater projects: estimating cost and effort
