AgilePM - Agile Project Management

PRINCE2

is a structured project management method based on experience drawn from thousands of projects and from the contributions of countless project sponsors, Project Managers, project teams, academics, trainers and consultants.

 

Because PRINCE2 is generic and based on proven principles, organizations adopting the method can substantially improve their organizational capability and maturity across various areas such as business change, construction, IT, mergers and acquisitions, research and product development.

 

Who is it for

 

PRINCE2 accreditation is aimed at aspiring and practising project managers, also other project team members wishing to have an understanding of an approach to project management demonstrating standards and rigour.

 

It is also a course for anyone involved with projects directly at more senior levels or indirectly at any level wanting/needing to understand how projects run delivering change

 

Why follow this course

 

The course starts by looking at the structure of the project environment and why we have projects. Then the course takes you through the "Themes" areas of project management that need to be addressed throughout a project such as Risk, Business Case and Plans. Then the life-cycle is explained in full for the 7 processes so that you then have a complete understanding of what happens throughout and why and how, to provide you with a complete picture to manage a project from start to finish.
