Five half-day courses that build upon your foundational PM skills — equipping project leaders to optimize flow, manage delivery, and drive portfolio-level IMPACT.
WHERE THIS FITS
Once your project leaders have mastered the fundamentals, these five half-day courses take them further — into the portfolio thinking, delivery optimization, and adaptive planning skills that move the needle at the organizational level.
Each course is focused and fast-moving — built for leaders who don’t have time to waste and want to apply what they learn immediately.
THE FIVE COURSES
Take them in sequence or mix and match to address your team’s most pressing needs.
course 01
How much iterative work is likely to be optimal for my project?
This program teaches participants how to apply some “rules of thumb” to know when to apply highly iterative techniques, and when to apply highly predictive techniques — sometimes on the same project.
course 02
How do I drive an accelerated, sustainable cadence of value delivery for my project?
This program teaches participants techniques that promote “full kitting” (starting tasks only when all inputs are in place) and single-task focus, managed with clear priorities in a visible manner, while allowing teams to evaluate their cadence of value delivery, and brainstorm ways to accelerate that cadence.
course 03
When my project’s value proposition is highly sensitive to achieving a given target date, how do I drive high due-date performance?
This program teaches participants techniques to manage the variability that is always present in every project, in a way that protects high-value due dates.
course 04
How do I know when re-baselining my project will yield a higher-ROI outcome?
This program teaches participants how to apply some “rules of thumb” to know when to apply highly iterative techniques, and when to apply highly predictive techniques — sometimes on the same project.
course 05
How do I keep things synchronized with other projects?
This program teaches participants how to set and maintain the right rhythm of product releases that are timed to build on, complement, or retire previous products. This includes how to build staggered flow models, run what-if scenarios on them, and then execute the chosen stagger.
Organizations have long struggled with the challenge of synchronizing projects to drive maximum business impact, whether within a single program or across a portfolio. For your organization to thrive in the future, there must be the right rhythm of product releases that are timed to build on, complement, or retire previous products. Two examples of companies that do this well are Apple and Tesla, and the result is that they both went from almost out of business to ranking among the most valuable companies in the world. The key ingredient to achieving such synchronicity is the discipline of staggering project starts based on “pace-setting” resources — such as a team of great product designers — and then ensuring that downstream work is set up to be run like a relay race.
SPOTLIGHT · COURSE 01
Not every project benefits from the same delivery approach. This course teaches leaders the “rules of thumb” for knowing when to apply highly iterative techniques and when to apply highly predictive techniques — sometimes on the same project.
Predictive

Participants leave with a clear decision framework for right-sizing their delivery approach — maximizing speed, reducing rework, and improving outcomes across the portfolio.
