About the programme

Course Overview

A schedule for sustainable project management without a critical path is a wish list with dates. Projects involving the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda are rarely late all at once; they are late a day at a time. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from this strand of project and portfolio delivery, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. The course sets out a working method for sustainable project management that participants can apply the week they return. The version of this aspect of project and portfolio delivery described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. Across sectors, teams that rehearse this part of project and portfolio delivery outperform teams that only plan it. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on sustainable project management and revise it on evidence. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with this aspect of project and portfolio delivery. Participants leave with a plan for this part of project and portfolio delivery sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
