Stakeholders withdraw support for public-private partnership projects quietly before they withdraw it formally. A schedule for this strand of project and portfolio delivery without a critical path is a wish list with dates. The level assumes working familiarity with the project but no prior formal training in this area of project and portfolio delivery. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of public-private partnership projects and supervised application. Across sectors, teams that rehearse this strand of project and portfolio delivery outperform teams that only plan it. The course covers the practice within project and portfolio delivery at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. What blocks progress on public-private partnership projects is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what the project and portfolio delivery discipline has actually achieved. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the practice within project and portfolio delivery survives a hostile question.
