If you are new to project management, or want to improve your project management skills, PRINCE2 Training Courses is for you. PRINCE2 is a project management method that covers the organization and management of projects.
This article will define project management; briefly discuss the history of PRINCE2, what is involved in PRINCE2 Training courses, and how it will benefit both you and your company.
Project management is the process of planning, organizing, staffing, giving direction, and controlling the production of a system using knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques. A structured project management method is the written description of a logical and organized approach, and PRINCE2 is a structured project management method that can be tailored for use on any type or size of project.
PRINCE (Projects IN Controlled Environments) was established in 1989 by CCTA (Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency), now renamed the OGC (Office of Government Commerce). Prince was later developed into PRINCE2 by a group of project management specialists. Over 150 public and private sector organisations were involved in reviewing the quality of the method as it was produced, and it was released in October 1996. PRINCE2 is seen as the generic, best practice approach to meet the needs of business. It is widely used in the public and private sector and is the ‘de-facto’ standard for project management within the UK and internationally. With such an impressive history, it is no wonder that PRINCE2 training courses are in demand.
PRINCE2 training explains the series of processes that cover all the activities needed for a project from the beginning to the end. The training focuses on business justification and demonstrates how its flexibility is applied to any project. It gives a defined organization structure for the project management team, and shows how a structured management project should operate with an organized and controlled start, middle and end.
