Managing successful projects with PRINCE2

Product Information

Secondly, the information provided by the project manager will help the project board review the current stage, approve the next and review the updated plan. Because there’s a simple yet defined process, your team has clear steps to follow even if they’ve never implemented a project management process before. These project management methodologies can be approached rigidly, or can be mixed, where a hybrid project management methodology of two or more are used to respond to the unique aspects of a project environment. PRINCE2 guides you through the stages of a project’s lifecycle, bringing structure and a common language to your projects. The first two chapters cover introductory concepts about projects and project management in general, and the benefits of using the structured methodology.

You should also create a project initiation document, another important PRINCE2 document that summarizes the key aspects of your project. While it requires some serious effort to absorb fully, it provides the reader with a complete education in the PRINCE2 methodology. The user is the person who is going to use the results or outcome of the project, or who will be impacted by the outcome of a project. This will only serve to facilitate improved collaboration, understanding, and effectiveness within project teams.The skills you learn through PRINCE2 will help you to manage a project more successfully and more effectively.

The book covers all the five main components of the methodology: principles, people, practices, processes, and project context. These skills are not unique to PRINCE2—they’re universal across all project management methodologies.Axelos works closely with our certification partner, PeopleCert, to manage and accredit the PRINCE2 Agile certification, often in conjunction with our accredited training partners.
