Course Overview

Projects involving project quality and conformity are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. The estimate for quality and conformity that nobody challenged is usually the one that fails. Ambition around the project and portfolio delivery capability outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of project quality and conformity and prepares them for it. The programme works equally well for those formalising this part of project and portfolio delivery for the first time and those improving an existing approach. The programme is built to be used, and every section of quality and conformity it covers ends in something applicable. Practitioner evidence points the same way: project quality and conformity improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about quality and conformity. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda ready to put in front of a decision maker.
