Course Overview

Scope on live broadcast projects expands through small agreements made in isolation. A schedule for the project and portfolio delivery capability without a critical path is a wish list with dates. Where this area of project and portfolio delivery is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The version of live broadcast projects described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of this aspect of project and portfolio delivery and prepares them for it. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on the practice within project and portfolio delivery are used deliberately. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on live broadcast projects and revise it on evidence. The course covers this part of project and portfolio delivery at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this strand of project and portfolio delivery that would make a visible difference.
