OVERVIEW

This course aims to measure whether a candidate would be able to act as an informed member of a project management team using the PRINCE2 method. To this end they need to show they understand the principles and terminology of the method.

Structured project management means managing the project in a logical, organised way, following defined steps. A structured project management method is the written description of this logical, organised approach, PRINCE2 (projects in a controlled environment) is a structured project management method.

PRINCE2 is a method for managing projects. It helps you work out who should be involved and what they will be responsible for. It gives you a set of processes to work through and explains what information you should be gathering along the way. But PRINCE2 doesn’t do the work for you, it cannot guarantee your projects will be successful. Good projects, which deliver quality results, on-time and within budget are dependent on the capability of people involved from Project Board down to individual members.
This course conforms to the syllabus for those delegates wishing to gain PRINCE2 Foundation level certification.
