Description
The Mastering Project Management Fundamentals with PRINCE2 course is designed to enhance your project management expertise through fresh perspectives. You can accelerate your career using PRINCE2 as a methodology, or finalise your preparation for your PRINCE2 certification that indicates your level of knowledge and competence.
After the course you can expect to:
Understand the 7 Principles
Weave the 7 Principles into your approach to project management
Recognise and apply the 7 Themes to your projects
Explain the 7 Processes in the project lifecycle
Explain who is responsible for each Process
Design your project approach around the Processes and Themes
Analyse a project around you with your new knowledge
Broaden your perspective on the framework with reflections on real project examples in highway construction, oil rig fabrication, a steel mill, and airplane assembly.
The course is useful for those who need a concise overview of the principles, processes, and themes that they hear about when talking PRINCE2. The course demystifies the three pillars of PRINCE2, showing clearly how they all hang together as a whole. Once you see the relationship between the three elements of PRINCE2 you will find learning and recall significantly easier.
The principles are there to guide and lay a foundation for everyone.
PRINCE2 projects should have a continued business justification throughout their life;
the project management team must seek lessons from previous projects and learn of earlier successes and failures.
A PRINCE2 project should be reported by exception,
by the groups producing the products,
through the project manager,
to those directing the project.
The project should have defined roles and responsibilities from the beginning, refined as the work details emerge.
The project must focus on products rather than activities.
Managing by stages supports the focus on products and managing by exception and allows you to review the business justification at the end of each stage.
Who this course is for:
- Project Managers with some experience but would like to put more structure and method to how they plan and manage their projects, and Senior Project Managers looking for a structured framework they can use to develop junior PM's or colleagues they are mentoring.
- Project administrators wanting to increase their project management understanding and move into junior project management roles, and PMO leads who want to add more structure to their management system
- Project Managers looking to study PRINCE2 or are already using the manual and feeling overwhelmed by jargon, and PRINCE2 candidates preparing for Foundation exams
- Managers and Project Board members who need a clear and concise perspective on project management. This is particularly to suppliers and users who have not been on a project board before.
