PRINCE2® Overview
Projects bring together resources, skills, technology and ideas to deliver business benefits or to achieve business objectives. Good project management helps to ensure that these benefits and objectives are delivered to an appropriate level of quality and within the constraints of time and cost. It is also an essential element in managing the risks inherent in change and innovation.

PRINCE2 is a comprehensive, structured project management method used extensively by the UK government. It is also widely recognised and used by the private sector, both in the UK and internationally. The method can be applied to all kinds of projects, including information systems projects. This intensive overview describes the main elements of the method, including components, processes and techniques. It also places PRINCE2 in an organisational context and discusses the issues surrounding the implementation of the method.
Anyone who wishes to gain a clear and concise understanding of the background, structure and applicability of PRINCE2.
- Understand the language of PRINCE2 and how the method should be suitably applied to differently-sized projects
- Appreciate the roles involved in making project management a collaborative effort
- Understand the principles that underpin the method
- Be aware of the processes and themes advocated by PRINCE2 and how their appropriate use can make project success more likely to happen
Attendees should gain a good appreciation of the advantages to using a structured method such as PRINCE2. They will learn the distinct roles involved in a project management team and the reporting requirements for all of them. They will appreciate how a Business Case underpins a project and how it should be regularly updated and assessed to gauge the continuing viability of the project.
You will understand the PRINCE2 method in summary form and be taught the benefits of using the method and, additionally, the importance of tailoring the method so that it is used appropriately.
