Stakeholders withdraw support for medical research laboratory projects quietly before they withdraw it formally. The estimate for laboratory projects that nobody challenged is usually the one that fails. This programme builds this aspect of project and portfolio delivery from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of medical research laboratory projects to standardise and which to leave flexible. What blocks progress on the practice within project and portfolio delivery is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. It is written for people who have to make laboratory projects work with the resources they already have. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about medical research laboratory projects in their own setting. The professional literature on laboratory projects converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the project and portfolio delivery capability sustainable.
