About this webinar
During this Wellingtone Community webinar, we’ll be exploring the art of estimating to deliver successful projects within the boundaries assigned at project inception.

What we’ll cover:
The journey to improving project estimates and why it matters for delivery confidence

The common challenges organisations face when trying to estimate more accurately
How to get the right level of stakeholder engagement to make estimating a success
Lessons from OMV’s real-world experience embedding estimating practices into the PMO
