2. Prince 2
PRINCE2 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.
3. Benefits of PRINCE2
Promotes consistency of project work and the ability to reuse
project assets; it also facilitates staff mobility and reduces the
impact of personnel changes/handovers.
Is an invaluable diagnostic tool, facilitating the assurance and
assessment of project work, troubleshooting and audits.
Plans are carefully designed to meet the needs of the different
levels in the management team, improving communication and
control.
Ensures that participants 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.
Defines a thorough but economical structure of reports.
Ensures that stakeholders (including sponsors and resource
providers) are properly represented in planning and decision
making
4. Foundation
The purpose of the foundation level is to confirm you
have sufficient knowledge and understanding of the
PRINCE2 method to be able to work effectively with,
or as a member of, a project management team
working within an environment supporting PRINCE2.
The foundation level is also a pre-requisite for the
practitioner certification.
5. PRINCE2 Professional
The PRINCE2 Professional certification is the next
step for PRINCE2 Practitioners looking to further
demonstrate their expertise in the PRINCE2 method.
This level will test your ability to manage a non-
complex PRINCE2 project across all aspects of the
project lifecycle.
