Course description
PRINCE2® (Projects IN Controlled Environments) is a globally recognised best practice project management methodology and is widely adopted on many projects around the world. It is the standard method used by the UK Government and is also utilised extensively in both the public and private sectors.
Why is it Important?
For individuals, PRINCE2® training and certification demonstrates to existing or new employers an understanding of the approach and how PRINCE2® can be applied. Implementing PRINCE2® methodology firmly in your business practices will promote smoother working relationships with other like-minded companies and keep your projects under control when working with organisations that use alternative business practises from your own.
Certify your ability to:
- Manage projects or to work in a project environment using the most internationally recognised project management method
- Ensure that team members 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.
- Promote consistency of project work and the ability to reuse project assets while facilitating staff mobility and reducing the impact of personnel changes/handovers.
- Design plans and reports to meet the needs of each level in the project team and project board, improving communication and control.
- Mitigate perceived problems and issues and focus on the viability of the project throughout.
- Evaluate the project portfolio to bring clarity and allow improvements in reviewing projects.
