Prince2 is the De Facto Standard for Project Management
PRINCE2 is the structured project management method that has become an international standard for organising, managing and controlling projects.
It is the best-practice approach for project management. Prince2 is now widely used in both public and private sectors and has built a reputation as an effective, process-based approach to structuring and organising project delivery
Prince2 is suitable for many types of project
The widespread use of PRINCE2 is based on its ability to be easily tailored and scaled, and applied to all types of projects.
Each process is defined with the objectives to be achieved and activities to be carried out. The PRINCE2 method describes how a project should be divided into stages enabling control of resources and giving the ability to monitor progress throughout the project. Project roles and responsibilities are fully identified and are adaptable to suit project size, project complexity, and the skills of the organisation.
Prince2 – A Proven and Accredited Methodology
Over the last year, over 50,000 people have taken Prince2 exams as part of either a 3-day PRINCE2 Foundation training course or a 5-day Prince2 Practitioner training course. Currently around over one thousand people take a Prince2 exam every week. With over 300 Approved Trainers working through 100 Accredited Training Organisations across the world. APM Group Ltd provide the training accreditation, registration and examination processes. APM Group itself is accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Scheme (UKAS) and is one of the very few organisations approved by UKAS for the accreditation of “knowledge based workers”.
PRINCE2 was originally developed by The Office of Government Commerce and has gained recognition by UKAS through the award of accreditation to APM Group Limited (APMG) as the PRINCE2 certi fication body fulfilling the requirements of EN 45011 and EN 45013. This is the first time a qualification scheme aimed at Project Management Professionals has achieved this recognition.
Manage more Efficiently
Using PRINCE2, a Project Manager can understand how to structure a project, plan ahead and work to obtain buy-in from all stakeholders. Once senior management find that they can successfully manage by exception, projects become more efficient with less time spent on “fire fighting” and more time focusing on delivering the benefits of the project.
Project Managers find that they spend less time dealing with issues and more time planning. Efficient controls are placed on the project, enabling senior management to delegate effectively. Risks arising from management of 3rd-party suppl iers are greatly reduced by building structured management and communication lines.
Prince2 – Speak a Common Language
PRINCE2 is the most widely recognised project management methodology, which gives an organisation a common language, both internally and with external contacts.
Prince2 – Tailor for Success
Understanding that the method is designed to be tailored to the circumstances of the project is crucial to success, and this is something that cannot easily be comprehended without attending an accredited training course. An accredited trainer will effectively destroy the myth that PRINCE2 is “over-bureaucratic and too unwieldy for small projects”.
