Course content

    Introduction

  • What things do we need to manage?
  • Characteristics of a project
  • Benefits of using PRINCE2
  • Project life cycle
  • The 7 PRINCE2 principles

  • Continued business justification – make sure the project is started and continued based upon sound justifications
  • Learn from experience – try to avoid repeating the mistakes from previous projects
  • Defined roles & responsibilities – make sure everyone knows what is expected from them
  • Manage by stages – break down the project into manageable stages so that progress can be reviewed and decisions taken about further investment in the project
  • Manage by exception – delegate day to day management to the project manager, whilst high level decisions are taken by senior management
  • Focus on products – ensure the output of the project is correctly specified and activities are focused on delivering products according to specification
  • Tailor to suit the project environment – all projects are different, so be sensible and apply PRINCE2 to suit the particular circumstances
  • PRINCE2 processes

    Overview of the 7 PRINCE2 processes and how they are used throughout the lifecycle of the project:

  • Starting Up a Project - define the project; create business case; identify customer's quality expectations
  • Initiating a Project - identify the products that will be produced; plan the project; set up controls and files
  • Directing a Project - authorise the project and stage plans; decide how to deal with issues
  • Controlling a Stage - activities performed by the project manager on a day to day basis to manage a stage
  • Managing Product Delivery - products are developed and quality is reviewed
  • Managing Stage Boundaries - create all stage and exception plans
  • Closing a Project - formal customer sign off; capture outstanding issues for future reference
  • PRINCE2 Themes

    Each of the 7 PRINCE2 themes and how/where they are used in the PRINCE2 processes:

  • Business Case - develop a Business Case to drive the project decision-making
  • Organization - establish an effective project organization structure representing the major project interests
  • Plans - identify products to be developed from the project and the required activities and resources
  • Progress - decision making, communication and control mechanisms that will be used during the project
  • Risk - identify risks and put in place measures to minimise negative (or positive) consequences
  • Quality- define and plan how quality will be managed through the project
  • Change - capture and manage all requested changes
