Introduction
PRojects IN a Controlled Environment (PRINCE2) embodies established and proven best practices and governance for project management. It can be applied to any type of project and can easily be implemented alongside specialist, industry-specific models.
Because the method is widely recognized and understood, it provides a common vocabulary for all project participants - promoting effective communication. The method also provides for the explicit recognition of project responsibilities - so that participants understand each other's roles and needs. There is a defined structure for accountability, delegation, authority and communication.
Projects fail for a variety of reasons including poor planning, lack of defined quality criteria, poor understanding of the business drivers, inadequate control and lack of senior management involvement - in other words lack of a structured, best-practice approach to project delivery.
PRINCE2 is process-based approach for project management that provides an easily-tailored and scalable methodology for the management of all types of projects.
The goals of this three-day course are to provide you with a thorough grounding in the PRINCE2 methodology - which offers a structured, best-practice approach - and to prepare you to take the PRINCE2 Foundation exam.
