Course Overview
Stakeholders withdraw support for urban public transport projects quietly before they withdraw it formally. Most recovery effort on transport projects is spent on problems that were visible early. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of this area of project and portfolio delivery is examined, not just described. The course covers urban public transport projects at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. The version of the project and portfolio delivery capability described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. It is designed for mixed groups, so that transport projects is examined from more than one functional angle. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in urban public transport projects that were visible long before the incident. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to transport projects in an order their organisation can absorb. Participants leave with a plan for this aspect of project and portfolio delivery sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
