Course Overview

Most recovery effort on rapid sprint innovation is spent on problems that were visible early. Stakeholders withdraw support for this strand of project and portfolio delivery quietly before they withdraw it formally. The level assumes working familiarity with the project but no prior formal training in the project and portfolio delivery discipline. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about rapid sprint innovation under scrutiny. The professional literature on this aspect of project and portfolio delivery converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Participants apply this part of project and portfolio delivery to their own project throughout, so the output is directly usable. What blocks progress on rapid sprint innovation is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. Participants leave with a method for the project and portfolio delivery discipline, not a set of opinions about it. The final session converts the week's work on this aspect of project and portfolio delivery into commitments with owners and dates.
