Reducing Program Uncertainty:   The Reducing Program Uncertainty Workshop explores the measurement and management of uncertainty for groups of interrelated projects that form a program.  Program uncertainty can increase the probability an organization will miss deadlines and budget goals.  The best way to manage uncertainty is by reducing the uncertainty of projects before they start in a proactive planning approach.  After projects have started, then uncertainty management approaches can be applied to reach desired target parameters.

Synergistic Project Selection:  The Synergistic Project Selection Workshop focuses on evaluation of groups of projects that are interdependent.  Failure to account for inter-dependencies often results in a sub-optimal project portfolio.  In order to maximize returns from a project portfolio, synergistic benefits must be considered.  This course will address how to identify such synergies and mathematically quantify their returns for selection purposes.
