Course Overview

A schedule for steel and aluminium plant projects without a critical path is a wish list with dates. Projects involving plant projects are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on the practice within project and portfolio delivery and revise it on evidence. The programme is built to be used, and every section of steel and aluminium plant projects it covers ends in something applicable. Where the project and portfolio delivery capability is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The programme works equally well for those formalising plant projects for the first time and those improving an existing approach. A common pattern is strong design of steel and aluminium plant projects paired with weak follow-through. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about plant projects in their own setting. The final session converts the week's work on this part of project and portfolio delivery into commitments with owners and dates.
