Course Overview
The estimate for change management in the project life cycle that nobody challenged is usually the one that fails. Scope on life cycle expands through small agreements made in isolation. It is designed for mixed groups, so that this area of project and portfolio delivery is examined from more than one functional angle. The course covers change management in the project life cycle at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. Organisations that document this strand of project and portfolio delivery properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting life cycle, ready to be adapted internally. Moving change management in the project life cycle from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make life cycle hard in practice. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda sustainable.
