Effective project assurance
The ability to health check projects, in order to provide assurance of their success, is a valuable skill for senior project managers who need to conduct peer reviews.
The course covers the process and approach of health checks in five components beginning with the purpose and philosophy supporting health checks, this includes the attitude and rationales that support the delivery of successful health checks. The course then moves onto communications, how to translate the under-pinning models into the health-check environment and how to overcome the barriers that arise.
The tutor will then cover the key techniques, including a detailed explanation of the critical models and hints on their application. Finally the outputs of the health check process are covered and how to provoke effective action as a result of the report/feedback given to the recipient/s.
