PRINCE2 Training March 25 and March 26 2017

OVERVIEW

PRINCE2 (Projects IN Controlled Environments) is a structured project management method based on experience drawn from thousands of projects - and from the contributions of countless project sponsors, Project Managers, project groups, academics, trainers and consultants.

PRINCE2 which is a registered trade mark of the Cabinet Office is a de facto standard used extensively by the UK Government and is widely recognized and used in the personal sector, both in the UK and internationally.

Key Features of PRINCE2

• Its focus on business justification
• A defined organization structure for the project management group
• Its product-based planning approach
• Its emphasis on dividing the project into manageable and controllable stages. It isa flexible Project Management framework to be applied at a level appropriate to the project

Benefits of PRINCE2

• Promotes consistency of project work and the ability to reuse project assets; it also facilitates staff mobility and reduces the impact of personnel changes/handovers.
• Is an invaluable diagnostic tool, facilitating the assurance and assessment of project work, troubleshooting and audits.
• Plans are carefully designed to meet the needs of the different levels in the management group, improving communication and control.
• Ensures that participants focus on the viability of the project in relation to its Business Case objectives - rather than simply seeing the completion of the project as an end in itself.
• Defines a thorough but economical structure of reports.
• Ensures that stakeholders (including sponsors and resource providers) are properly represented in planning and decision making.
