An increasing number of companies are working in a project-like manner, using the PRINCE2 project management method. The advantages of a standard method are great: a uniform method of working and terminology makes projects comparable, transferable, and orderly. Moreover, PRINCE2 has additional qualities, such as the standard no go/go decision with each stage, the Business Case at the center of the project, and clear agreements about who is responsible for what. This publication will be beneficial for anyone involved in controlling, designing, or managing projects. The book gives a faithful representation of the (reviewed) PRINCE2-methodology, with many lists serving as reference material for all project types and sizes. Furthermore, the book can serve as a good basis for the PRINCE2 Foundation exams.
This publication has been updated to take into account the changes to the Practitioner Exam, which has a new syllabus and a new marking scheme. The format of the exam has also changed so that is now multiple choice instead of an essay format. The publication contains new sample papers, which contain actual exam questions taken from a bank of questions provided by the Official Accreditor, APMG, so the exam questions in the book may appear on the day of your exam. The sample papers are also presented in the same way as they appear in the exam. PRINCE2 is a structured method for effective project management. This publication is essential for those intending to take the PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner examinations. It also provides advice and guidance for those taking The APM Group Re-Registration examination. This title contains examples of multiple choice questions and specimen answers to typical project management situations.
