History of PRINCE2
PRINCE used in UK Public Sector since 1989
Became PRINCE2 in 1996
Nowadays used in Public & Private Sectors both in UK and abroad
Subject to periodic updates by the OGC to keep the methodology in line with Industry Requirements

Why has it changed?
The 2005 manual was considered too bulky
Some of the terminology was confusing
There was a need to acknowledge new business practices/technologies
The methodology needed to integrate with other OGC Products
More consideration was needed for the soft aspects of project management

Fundamental Differences between 2005 & 2009
Manual condensed from over 450 pages to 325 pages
Amount of repetition has been reduced
Sub-process numbers have been removed
There are now 2 manuals:
Managing Successful Projects
Directing Successful Projects

Changes in Terminology
8 Processes become 7
PRINCE2 2005
Starting Up a Project

PRINCE2 2009

Terminology aligns much better with the other products within the OGC suite

New Business Practices/Technologies are acknowledged
Documents have been given clearer/more modern names
More examples in the manual of hi-tech projects
Some subject areas have been made less prescriptive and more flexible
References to ISO have been removed

The softer aspects of Project Management are better catered for
The “Tailoring” section gives advice on adapting to different project cultures

What the Changes Mean for Students
The Exam format has changed as well as the manual
The 2005 qualification is still valid
Most advertised vacancies don’t specify the version of PRINCE2
We teach the subjects that the 2005 manual doesn’t do well “properly” on the course anyway!
A 2005 student will easily get to grips with 2009 in a working environment
No upgrade is needed to the 2009 methodology – 2005 students will need to sit a 1 hour “Refresh” exam in 5 years

Timescales for changeover
First 2009 Course to Run Week Commencing 5 th October
Current Plan to then run 2009 format on Alternate Courses
Will allow bedding-in of new exam format
Some students still requesting 2005
Returning 2005 students should attend 2005 course
Pre-Course Reading for 2009 version available now
