Project, Programme and Portfolio Assurance
How Assurance Review Gates Support Delivery Confidence
In today’s increasingly complex delivery environment, the role of assurance in supporting key investment and delivery decisions has never been more critical. Join us for a practical, interactive webinar exploring the evolving use of Assurance Review Gates across projects, programmes, and portfolios — and how they contribute to governance, accountability and evidence-based decision-making at all levels managing change.
In this webinar, we will:
- Set assurance in context — how it supports project, programme, and portfolio governance
- Explore the relationship between assurance, governance, and risk-based scrutiny
- Discuss what makes a good assurance review at key decision points
- Examine how review gates can improve delivery confidence — before it’s too late
- Engage in live polls and discussion on how assurance applies in your organisation and sector
