Course Description
PRINCE2® 7th Edition is the world’s most practised and recognised project management method and provides the essentials for managing any project of any size or complexity. PRINCE2® 7th Edition is a process-based approach for project management providing an easily tailored and scalable method for the management of all types of projects. The method is the de-facto standard for project management in the UK and is practiced worldwide.
The continued international development of PRINCE2® examinations, training and course material is contributing significantly to the recognition of PRINCE2® as a truly international standard. This course introduces to the PRINCE2® five connected elements: project context, principles, practices, processes, with people at its centre, whilst the Practitioner teaches how to apply it practically to the running and managing of a project within the PRINCE2® environment.
On this highly engaging and interactive course you’ll be reintroduced to the five connected elements of PRINCE2 – project context, principles, practices, processes, with people at its centre. Reflecting the
changing face of project management, this latest version of PRINCE2 includes essential concepts such as sustainability, data management, commercial management and most importantly people management.
Specific benefits of PRINCE2 include:
• Better communication – its widespread use and understanding, provides a common project vocabulary for all those involved
• Clearly defined responsibilities – all involved in the project understand each other’s roles and there is a defined structure for accountability, delegation, authority, and communication
• Adaptable to business and project needs – PRINCE2 can be tailored to all types of projects to help satisfy organization or industry-specific requirements.
• Best practice – the method is widely recognised as the de-facto method for initiating and delivering projects
