Course Description:
This three-day accredited course provides participants with a thorough grounding in PRINCE2:2009 and comprises of three main elements. The first provides coverage of the PRINCE2 principles: the need for structured project management, why pragmatic and intelligent use of methods is so important, and how PRINCE2:2009 can be employed to achieve business-related objectives.
The second element considers the method itself: the structure of PRINCE2:2009, how the major themes and processes work on their own as well as together, and how the roles associated with the PRINCE2:2009 method can be made really effective.
The third element deals with the tailoring of PRINCE2:2009 and explores the need for tailoring the method when introducing it into a different environments and using it in different sizes of project, always bearing in mind the need to keep bureaucracy to a minimum.
Presented by skilled lecturers with extensive experience in the practical application of project management, the course includes examination coaching and practice using sample exam questions.
All delegates will sit the PRINCE2:2009 Foundation examination (a multiple choice paper) in the late afternoon of the third day of the course.
