This workshop introduces delegates to the links between generic Project Management at a fundamental level and the principles, themes and processes of PRINCE2. The implications of using PRINCE2 pragmatically are explored to enable delegates to assess how they may blend PRINCE2 into their organisations to successfully manage and control projects.

Project board members, project managers, team leaders, project stakeholders, project support and people working towards or within a PRINCE2 project environment and those working on the periphery of PRINCE2 projects will benefit from attending this workshop. The workshop deals with topics at a comprehensive level and includes the Foundation level examination.

Pre-requisites
All delegates must be familiar with working in a project environment.

Objectives
Attendance on this workshop will enable delegates to:

  • Understand the basic principles, themes, processes, products and techniques of PRINCE2; 
  • Consider the practical application issues of using and tailoring aspects of the PRINCE2 method; 
  • Assess the implications and benefits of introducing PRINCE2;
  • Develop knowledge to a level that enables success in the PRINCE2 Foundation examination;
  • Have the confidence and competence to practice the method in a live project environment;

Format
The workshop will be delivered using a mixture of trainer-led discussion using slides and sample examination questions as a vehicle for confirming understanding and practical application of the elements of the PRINCE2 method.
