Course Summary


PRINCE2™ is the de-facto project management method used by many of today’s leading companies. If you’re a project manager with any experience then the chances are that you will have come across a project that pays lip service to the fundamentals. You will have realised that to get the most from PRINCE2™ requires a clear understanding of the key drivers, the essential controls and the components.

This course looks at the main drivers in PRINCE2™ to enable an effective framework to be applied. It includes developing skills in writing effective Project Initiation Documents and aspects of the business case including defining, tracking and measuring benefits.
 
Included are advanced techniques covering aspects of control including financial, progress, risk and quality. Delegates will come away with the knowledge and the practical ability to ensure their projects really are run in a ‘controlled environment’.
