00:00:08 Sevcan YasaPRINCE2: Hello, thank you so much for joining us today. Can we start by taking your name please?®

00:00:13 Rosie Boxall, MSP: Yes, it’s Rosie.®

00:00:15 Sevcan Yasa, ITIL: Can you tell us a bit about the industry that you work in as well as your job role please?®

00:00:20 Rosie Boxall, P3O: Yeah, absolutely. So, I work in higher education and have done for for many, many years, mostly in student support uhm and more recently I’ve just moved into a role that’s more of a programme management role. So looking after external grants and contracts and partnerships and the kind of projects within those that might look like a mobility scheme or a grant contract or something like that.®

Why did you decide to take a PRINCE2 course?, PRINCE2

00:00:53 Sevcan Yasa®: Why did you decide to take a PRINCE2 course? Agile, RESILIA

00:00:56 Rosie Boxall®: So, I moved back to the UK from New Zealand uhm about six months ago now, and I’ve been working directly in student support in New Zealand uhm and when I came back to the UK, I found it quite hard to find even a similar role actually. So even though my previous roles, roles really and had all involved project management., and the Swirl logo are registered trademarks of the PeopleCert group. Used under licence from PeopleCert.

00:01:17 Rosie Boxall®: I know I found that because it wasn’t specifically in my job title and because I didn’t have any qualifications in project management, it wasn’t necessarily getting recognised when I was applying for jobs over here and I found that lots of roles were asking for a project management qualification and so I started by doing an online certificate in project management, but just found it was really quite vague uhm and I didn’t feel like it was actually giving me a framework that I could take forward and use in the workplace or really talk about in an interview more than I kind of knew already. and AgileBA

00:01:52 Rosie Boxall®: So PRINCE2 obviously globally recognised and importantly, for me, used both in the UK and New Zealand, and because I would like to go back in the future. So, it was really after kind of applying for a handful of jobs and uhm not getting anywhere and getting feedback that they were really looking for a specific qualification that I decided to use some of that time that I was job hunting to do my PRINCE2 qualifications. are registered trademarks of Agile Business Consortium Limited.

00:03:02 Rosie Boxall : And that kind of lots of people who it was kind of tangentially involved and it just wasn’t really going anywhere, and I was kind of able to do just use everything I’ve learned in the PRINCE2 course and just apply some real structure to the project and then just kind of move it forward like that. And it actually got it off the ground really quickly and meant that the core project team just knew what they were meant to be doing and actually what our timelines are and our kind of development stages. Uhm, so I kind of was immediately able to put it into practice on quite a low stakes project uhm and then as I was applying for new jobs and the job that I actually ended up getting had an assessment as part of the application, which was to plan a project essentially so you were given a kind of project brief and it was half an hour test where you had to plan out the kind of whole timeline of the project. The documents you would create, the kind of questions that you would ask to make sure it was set up in a way that would wouldn’t allow it to be successful, but I don’t think I could have actually done that had I not done the PRINCE2 course really. I would have been floundering. Uhm I had my textbook next to me, which was really useful and so I actually I really would credit the course that I did with contributing to me getting the job that I’m doing now.

00:04:21 Rosie Boxall

00:05:54 Rosie Boxall: So, I would say it’s not been too much of a shift and that way, but I do feel much more like I’m moving. I kind of didn’t want to get boxed into student support as my, as my career and wanted the opportunity to be able to in the future maybe move into tech or kind of different uhm kind of different industries and I feel like working in this role, which is much more specifically programme and project management. I can definitely see how in the future I could take that elsewhere. So it feels it’s kind of, I seem more applicable and have opened up what project management and programme management is for me.

How was the PRINCE2 course?

00:06:36 Sevcan Yasa : How did you find the PRINCE2 course?

00:06:39 Rosie Boxall : I found it really, really great actually it was really interesting because I worked in higher education my whole career, but everyone was from such diverse backgrounds. We had so many kind of mini case studies I guess within the actual course, but I think made it really easy to pick up all the kind of theoretical information and then apply it very very quickly. And given that we just had five days.

00:07:05 Rosie Boxall : And it actually really helped pass me that my tutor was an academic themselves and so kind of understood the academic context of project management as well as all the other industries that we had.
