Plan handover and benefit realisation for clinical trial projects.
Planning Multi-Phase, Multi-Site Clinical Trial Projects
Develop the judgement and the documentation needed to run clinical trial projects properly.
Course Overview
Projects involving clinical trial projects are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. Scope on this area of project and portfolio delivery expands through small agreements made in isolation. The difficulty is not agreeing that the project and portfolio delivery discipline matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. They leave able to brief senior management on clinical trial projects in terms that support a decision. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in this part of project and portfolio delivery rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Comparative studies of the project and portfolio delivery capability across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Participants leave with a method for clinical trial projects, not a set of opinions about it. It suits anyone whose decisions touch this aspect of project and portfolio delivery, in large organisations and small ones alike. The final session converts the week's work on this part of project and portfolio delivery into commitments with owners and dates.
