Leadership and ManagementPortfolio Management and Strategic Alignment
Organisations running dozens of projects at once often struggle not with delivery but with choosing the right projects in the first place, and this course addresses exactly that gap. Participants apply portfolio prioritisation frameworks, capacity planning and balanced scorecard techniques to ensure the project pipeline reflects genuine strategic priorities rather than internal politics or sunk cost. The course includes a portfolio review simulation using a realistic project inventory.

- Apply weighted scoring models to prioritise competing projects against strategic criteria
- Balance a project portfolio across risk, return and resource capacity constraints
- Design a portfolio governance structure with defined gate and review points
