Course Overview

Projects involving logistics cold chain projects are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. Most recovery effort on chain projects is spent on problems that were visible early. Moving the practice within project and portfolio delivery from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The programme works equally well for those formalising logistics cold chain projects for the first time and those improving an existing approach. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of the project and portfolio delivery capability to standardise and which to leave flexible. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make chain projects hard in practice. Where logistics cold chain projects is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The programme is built to be used, and every section of chain projects it covers ends in something applicable. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this strand of project and portfolio delivery survives a hostile question.

  • Set escalation thresholds for chain projects that work out of hours.
  • Agree the escalation threshold for logistics cold chain projects in advance.
  • Plan handover of chain projects to the team that will operate it.

Session 2The risks to chain projects nobody wants to raise

  • Define the decision gates for logistics cold chain projects and what evidence each requires.
  • Verify six months later that changes to chain projects have held.
  • Build reporting on logistics cold chain projects that surfaces problems while they are small.

  • Register the risks to chain projects with owner, probability and impact.
  • Name a single owner for each element of logistics cold chain projects.
  • Define acceptance criteria for each deliverable of chain projects.

Session 2Building a schedule for chain projects with a real critical path

  • Distinguish symptoms from causes when logistics cold chain projects underperforms.
  • Confirm that those complying with chain projects understand why it exists.
  • Define how the benefit from logistics cold chain projects will be measured after closure.
  • Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for chain projects.
03

Chain projects: governance, gates and decision rights

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Writing the scope of chain projects including what is excluded

  • Draft the minimum viable delivery plan for logistics cold chain projects.
  • Map stakeholders of chain projects by influence and current level of support.
  • Establish what evidence demonstrates logistics cold chain projects is under control.
  • Plan the sequence in which improvements to chain projects will be introduced.

Session 2Keeping stakeholders of logistics cold chain projects genuinely supportive

  • Benchmark the organisation's logistics cold chain projects against comparable operations.
  • Identify the critical path through chain projects and the float elsewhere.

  • Compare resource demand from chain projects against other commitments.
  • Set the change control process for logistics cold chain projects and require cost and time impact.
  • Record what was learned when chain projects did not go as planned.
