Stakeholders withdraw support for cloud migration projects quietly before they withdraw it formally. Projects involving the project and portfolio delivery discipline are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place the practice within project and portfolio delivery among the areas with the widest performance spread. This programme builds cloud migration projects from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Ambition around the project and portfolio delivery capability outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from this area of project and portfolio delivery, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on cloud migration projects and revise it on evidence. It is designed for mixed groups, so that this strand of project and portfolio delivery is examined from more than one functional angle. The final session converts the week's work on the project and portfolio delivery discipline into commitments with owners and dates.
