Projects involving agile performance measurement are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. Most recovery effort on the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda is spent on problems that were visible early. The difficulty is not agreeing that this part of project and portfolio delivery matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. It treats agile performance measurement as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. They leave able to brief senior management on this aspect of project and portfolio delivery in terms that support a decision. Participants apply the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda to their own project throughout, so the output is directly usable. Organisations that document agile performance measurement properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The programme suits teams tackling this area of project and portfolio delivery together as readily as individuals attending alone. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this part of project and portfolio delivery survives a hostile question.
