PRINCE2 In Bite Sized chunks.

The Prince2 Process Sequence

I am often asked how the PRINCE2 Processes "speak" to each other. My following summary will give you a new insite to PRINCE2 Processes, and how they work together.....Enjoy!!

It would be helpful if you thought of Processes as "Toolkits" or "Toolboxes" The Processes are used when they are needed - some once per project, some re-used several times, and one, Directing a Project, is used continuously.

My New PRINCE2 Primer Toolkit!

prince2 master class

I've just given birth....to my Brand New GOLD LIMITED EDITION PRINCE2 Primer. I've gone into full detail on the slides, ending up with 320 animated PowerPoint slides, which I used to record over 20 hours of step-by-step full motion video tutorial in the form of 16 Step-By-Step Modules..

There's no padding, no fill, just clear, concise tutorials on every corner of the new Manual. I leave no stone unturned. You get to understand and absorb PRINCE2 in easy bite-sized chunks, so when you turn up at your training course you are already fully prepared to take and pass the Foundation and Practitioner exams!

You also get a massive 200-question QUIZ based on the Foundation exam questions, and 20 in-depth exercises to test the students understanding of key PRINCE2 aspects. As before, I've created a Workbook for each of the Modules containing full colour graphics of every single slide.

But it gets better, you also get 21 Practitioner Exam questions and answers.

Get ahead of the queue - http://www.prince2primer.com   I know you're gonna like it....

Prince2 Hots Up In The Recession!

Phew!!

Just got back to Spain from a hectic tour of Prince2 training events in the UK. There's no doubt the wind of change is getting to companies and their professional staff.

features of product based planning plans activities

Product Based Planning (PBP) is used within the Planning Process (PL2). And the Planning Process is used whenever a “real” Plan is needed – these are: 

  1. Project Plan
  2. Stage Plan
  3. Optional Team Plan
  4. Exception Plan if needed

All other plans are really strategies (Project Quality Plan, Configuration Management Plan, Communication Plan) The Post Project Review Plan does not need PBP as it is just a schedule, measurements, and resources showing how the Business Case benefits are to be measured, tracked, and eventually realized. 


Project Management Training

Welcome to all things Project Management!

I want to bring YOU the best information, products, techniques, and good ideas to do with either managing the projects themselves - or the human art of project management.

I started out as a professional engineer and moved into project management in my late twenties. So I have a quarter of a century of experience in that field.

Of course, that doesn't make me automatically an "expert" - but it does give me a wealth of stuff that can help you "Fast-Track" and get good - in a fraction of the time that it took me!

Taking the World View, I would say that project management is split into two camps - Europe and the USA. that's not to discount other countries - far from it, but to acknowledge the main sources of "Bodies of Knowledge" (BoK).

Prince2 Project Management Methodology

I intend to create a major section on this site covering PRICE2 in all its aspects. Pressure of work right now will mean that articles will have to gradually appear as time permits.

For now - here is the basic definition - but watch this space!

PRINCE®, which stands for Projects in Controlled Environments, is a project management method covering the organisation, management and control of projects. PRINCE® was first developed by the Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA), now part of the Office of Government Commerce (OGC), in 1989 as a UK Government standard for IT project management.
