Overview
PRINCE2 is recognized as the best practice project management method and is being adopted by organizations in all sectors in the UK and internationally. PRINCE2 is a generic structured, controlled, repeatable and robust project management method that can be used to manage any size and complexity of project.
Key to the successful use of PRINCE2 is how it is used in practice and tailored to meet the different needs of projects. This conversion from theory to practical application is, too often, underestimated and mishandled.
This one-day course, available on a closed course basis only, offers delegates practical guidance on how PRINCE2 can be applied for maximum benefit on projects in the workplace. This course will use the latest version of the PRINCE2 manual (Fifth Edition, 2009).
This practical workshop is delivered by a skilled facilitator with extensive experience of using PRINCE2 in the workplace.
