Deliverables stall when control frameworks don’t sync across project and service teams.
The situation this course is for
Project controllers often sit between delivery teams and compliance mandates, but inconsistent application of service standards leads to rework, audit delays, and misaligned expectations across regions. Without a structured way to apply ISO 20000 within project lifecycles, oversight becomes reactive rather than strategic.
Who this is for
Senior Project Controller in global IT services firm, managing multi-region delivery compliance and governance alignment.
Who this is not for
Junior project coordinators, non-governance-focused delivery leads, or practitioners outside IT service delivery frameworks.
What you walk away with
- Document and standardize service handoffs across project phases using ISO 20000 controls
- Define clear ownership points for service continuity decisions across teams
- Produce consistent audit evidence that meets cross-regional compliance expectations
- Structure project reviews that align with ongoing service operations
- Anticipate and resolve scope deviations using standardized service incident protocols
