Course Overview
A schedule for complex project risk and ambiguity without a critical path is a wish list with dates. Scope on risk and ambiguity expands through small agreements made in isolation. Buying a tool rarely fixes this area of project and portfolio delivery; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. Organisations that document complex project risk and ambiguity properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. It concentrates on the parts of the practice within project and portfolio delivery that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. It is written for people who have to make risk and ambiguity work with the resources they already have. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about complex project risk and ambiguity under scrutiny. Participants apply risk and ambiguity to their own project throughout, so the output is directly usable. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the project and portfolio delivery discipline that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
