Course Overview
A schedule for flood defence and resilient infrastructure without a critical path is a wish list with dates. Scope on resilient infrastructure expands through small agreements made in isolation. It suits anyone whose decisions touch this part of project and portfolio delivery, in large organisations and small ones alike. It treats flood defence and resilient infrastructure as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Participants apply the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda to their own project throughout, so the output is directly usable. The most reliable predictor of sound resilient infrastructure is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. Plans for flood defence and resilient infrastructure often fail at the handover point between functions. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting resilient infrastructure, ready to be adapted internally. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this strand of project and portfolio delivery that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
Expected Learning Outcomes

Manage stakeholders of flood defence and resilient infrastructure according to influence and interest.
Manage contracts and suppliers delivering parts of resilient infrastructure.
Track progress on flood defence and resilient infrastructure by earned value rather than by activity completed.

Course Modules
Flood defence and resilient infrastructure: estimating cost and effort
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Closing flood defence and resilient infrastructure and capturing what was learned
- Archive the decision record for flood defence and resilient infrastructure so successors understand it.
- Check that resilient infrastructure still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
- Distinguish symptoms from causes when flood defence and resilient infrastructure underperforms.
- Draft the minimum viable delivery plan for resilient infrastructure.
Session 2The risks to resilient infrastructure nobody wants to raise
- Define how the benefit from flood defence and resilient infrastructure will be measured after closure.
- Map the handovers in resilient infrastructure between functions and secure them.
- Manage supplier performance on flood defence and resilient infrastructure against contract, not goodwill.
- Identify the critical path through resilient infrastructure and the float elsewhere.
Resilient infrastructure: handover, benefits and lessons
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Comparing resilient infrastructure with recognised practice
- Map stakeholders of flood defence and resilient infrastructure by influence and current level of support.
- Confirm that reporting on resilient infrastructure reaches the people who can act.
- Agree the indicators that will show whether flood defence and resilient infrastructure is improving.
- Reduce the variation in how resilient infrastructure is carried out between teams.
Session 2What to measure in resilient infrastructure and what to ignore
- Define acceptance criteria for each deliverable of flood defence and resilient infrastructure.
- Build the work breakdown for resilient infrastructure to a level that can be estimated.
- Estimate the resource flood defence and resilient infrastructure requires to run as designed.
- Set the change control process for resilient infrastructure and require cost and time impact.
Resilient infrastructure: procurement, contracts and suppliers
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Writing the scope of resilient infrastructure including what is excluded
- Confirm that contractual obligations around flood defence and resilient infrastructure are understood.
- Remove steps in resilient infrastructure that add effort without adding assurance.
- Review at each gate whether flood defence and resilient infrastructure should continue at all.
- Compare the cost of resilient infrastructure with the cost of its absence.
Session 2Keeping stakeholders of flood defence and resilient infrastructure genuinely supportive
- Define the decision gates for flood defence and resilient infrastructure and what evidence each requires.
- Compare resource demand from resilient infrastructure against other commitments.
- Test the procedure for flood defence and resilient infrastructure against a realistic scenario.
- Estimate resilient infrastructure using two independent methods and reconcile the difference.
Resilient infrastructure: stakeholders, communication and support
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Estimating resilient infrastructure without anchoring on the answer wanted
- Prepare the recovery plan for flood defence and resilient infrastructure before it is needed.
- Build reporting on resilient infrastructure that surfaces problems while they are small.
- Define the trigger that would require flood defence and resilient infrastructure to be redesigned.
- Measure progress on resilient infrastructure by value earned, not tasks ticked.
Session 2Moving resilient infrastructure from approval to execution
- Identify where judgement in flood defence and resilient infrastructure is legitimate and where it is not.
- Agree what will be standardised in resilient infrastructure and what will not.
- Plan handover of flood defence and resilient infrastructure to the team that will operate it.
- Build the internal briefing that explains resilient infrastructure to those affected.
