Dates: 15 July 2010
Venue: Milton Keynes

For over 20 years CITI has researched, practised and taught success in projects, portfolios and programmes to world class organisations. Our approach to learning takes participants ‘beyond method’ to experience complex project issues in real business environments.

In this one day event, we invite members of the Best Practice User Group™* (BPUG) to experience how they can apply new techniques and good judgment in complex situations. Through the day, we explore how project assurance can deliver real value to project managers and the organisation.

Session 1:

There is a case for a PMO to act as a guide for projects, to the extent of reviewing each project and providing a constructive action plan to the project manager. Having a structured approach, that is focused on supporting the project manager, adds value to the review function and ensures that the review is consistent and effective. CITI’s health check approach provides a consistent process for project reviews, whether the output is focused on guiding the project manager or monitoring the status of the project. This session outlines the process and approach of health checks and what is required for the delivery of successful health checks.

Session 2:

This session provides a more detailed view of the core key techniques, including a detailed explanation of the critical models and hints on their application. The outputs of the health check process are discussed with how to provoke effective action as a result of the report/feedback. Participation in group activities will allow you to relate the principles to your own organisation.
