Managing successful projects with PRINCE2

Product Information

The project ecosystem refers to those elements of the business which are involved in the project, or are directly impacted by its outcomes, and the associated users and suppliers. They all need organising and co-ordinating so that the project delivers the required outcome on time, on budget and up to quality. People in strategic roles, who may need to make decisions about project initiation, resources, and risk management, will find value in this manual. The book covers all the five main components of the methodology: principles, people, practices, processes, and project context.

PRINCE2® and PRINCE2 Agile® are registered trade marks of AXELOS Limited, used under permission of AXELOS Limited. Each practice chapter is written to help the reader comprehend the multiple aspects of project management. Every project needs a business case and a cost-benefit analysis to explain its purpose and financial or strategic benefits.By organizing the project into logical steps, PRINCE2 demands a project management framework that has an organized and controlled project plan before starting, one that maintains its organization through the project life cycle. This is similar to a project charter, but the requirements all depend on what your project board wants to see before approving the project. That said, there are a few training courses and exam options that can help improve and demonstrate your proficiency with the methodology.

First established in 1989 by the Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA), the PRINCE2 method was originally based on PROMPT, another acronym that stands for Project Resource Organization Management Planning Technique, which was created in 1975 and used by the United Kingdom government for its information system projects.

This book challenges that thinking by suggesting that change management must be placed at the heart of all projects.

It is a commendable effort to bring to life a methodology that can otherwise be perceived as dry or overly complex.
