Course Overview
A schedule for last-mile delivery projects without a critical path is a wish list with dates. Scope on the project and portfolio delivery discipline expands through small agreements made in isolation. They leave able to brief senior management on this aspect of project and portfolio delivery in terms that support a decision. It is written for people who have to make last-mile delivery projects work with the resources they already have. Organisations that document the project and portfolio delivery discipline properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The version of the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The course sets out a working method for last-mile delivery projects that participants can apply the week they return. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of this part of project and portfolio delivery rather than to abstract argument. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the practice within project and portfolio delivery survives a hostile question.
