Pathway understands how critical the delivery of successful projects is for charity organisations. 

If a project fails, it can have a severe impact. In the worst-case scenario, the existence of the charity can be put in jeopardy. Going over budget and not fulfilling the requirements are major risks.

• The proven principles in the toolkit and courses apply to any size charity and to all projects. 
• Stress about cutover and using the system will be reduced significantly by completing dress rehearsals. You will go into cutover knowing that the system is ready and that everyone has the highest level of assurance.
• You will approach go-live with the knowledge that BAU will be successful. 
• Pragmatic risk management activities will provide clarity about the level of risk. You will understand the risk profile at the outset of the project so it can be mitigated to the lowest possible level. 
• There are critical actions that make the difference between success and failure, but they aren’t included in some widely used methodologies. Learn what these activities are and how to implement them in any project, regardless of approach.

The courses will significantly increase the probability of successful projects, and they are affordable for all charities.

The following activities and strategies are included in the course to mitigate risks:

• Dress rehearsals. (This is the most effective risk management and cutover preparation activity a project can complete.)
• Project initiation. (Research has shown that poor project initiation is a major factor in 80 per cent of IT project failures.)
• Holistic security planning, configuration, and testing.
• Proof of concept activities.
• Hybrid methodologies.
• Dependency management across teams.
• Practical risk management.
• Cutover management.
• Runbook preparation.
• Managing Go/No Go Meetings.
• Post-go-live support.
