Should I do PRINCE2 or APM?

Whether you should do PRINCE2 or APM depends on your experience with project management. If you are new to the field, starting with APM might be beneficial to build a solid Foundation of contextual knowledge. This background can be advantageous before proceeding to PRINCE2.

Additionally, consider your organisation's readiness for implementing changes.
