Course Overview
The estimate for structured project management methodology that nobody challenged is usually the one that fails. Scope on management methodology expands through small agreements made in isolation. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting this strand of project and portfolio delivery, ready to be adapted internally. The content is relevant to those who own structured project management methodology and to those who are held accountable for its results. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of the project and portfolio delivery capability rather than to abstract argument. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in management methodology, not around theory headings. Across sectors, teams that rehearse structured project management methodology outperform teams that only plan it. Buying a tool rarely fixes management methodology; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the project and portfolio delivery discipline sustainable.
