PRINCE2 Overview
PRINCE2, firmly established as the world’s most-practised method for project management, is globally recognised for delivering successful projects.
The real success of PRINCE2 lies in its compilation of proven best practices in project management taken from academics, business professionals, and consultants across the years. Since its creation, at least two million PRINCE2 exams have been sat in over 150 countries worldwide. This is a clear testament to the value of PRINCE2 to individuals all over the world.
PRINCE2 is practical and accessible and plays a vital role in ensuring that projects of any kind will lead to beneficial outcomes.
These courses provide participants with a solid understanding of the PRINCE2 (7th Edition) method covering the principles, practices and processes.
- Project managers and aspiring project managers.
- Other key staff involved in the design, development and delivery of projects including Project Board members (e.g. sponsors), Team Managers, Project Assurance, Project Support (e.g. Project and Programme Office personnel) and Operational line managers / staff.

KEY TOPICS

The principles, practices, and processes are applied by the people involved to ensure that the method is fit for the project context.
