WORKSHOP
INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMME AND PORTFOLIO
MANAGEMENT

Duration - 1 Day
Cost - £275 per participant

Course Summary
Many organisations assign a
variety of projects to individual managers. These projects may be assigned
as part of an interrelated programme, or an unrelated portfolio. Managers
need to be able to plan and co-ordinate the various components of their
projects. Managers need to understand the priorities and conflicts of the
individual projects and the overall programme, or portfolio. Managers also
need assurance that the individual projects are on target to achieve their
interim and overall objectives. This practical course will provide programme
and portfolio managers with a series of tools, techniques and tips to ensure
that the programme components are planned, managed and co-ordinated
correctly.
