PRINCE2® - PRojects IN Controlled Environments
PRINCE2® is an internationally recognized project management methodology which has become a global standard for managing any type of project. PRINCE2 is a method which focuses on the process of project management and as such, it complements the bodies of knowledge of other standards with a proven and scalable process for applying that knowledge to projects of any size. PRINCE2 allows your business to focus on doing the right projects, at the right time, for the right reasons.
Because both responsibilities and deliverables are always kept in focus, PRINCE2 brings many benefits to organizations, among them;
- Embodying proven Best Practices for project management
- A common vocabulary for all project participants which promotes effective communication
- A scalable method that can be applied to any type of project
- Explicit recognition of project responsibilities
- Clarifying what a project will deliver, why, when, by whom and for whom
- Focusing on the project in relation to the business case objectives
- Insuring that all stakeholders are properly represented in planning and decision making.
PRINCE2 underwent a full refresh in June, 2009 to more fully address today's project environment. More than 170 organizations contributed their experiences and ideas to the refresh process. PRINCE2 reflects the Best Practices of leading project management practitioners worldwide and can enhance the credentials and careers of project management professionals.
For Project Management Professionals in the Americas, the addition of a PRINCE2 certification adds a valuable internationally recognized qualification to your credentials, while at the same time satisfying part of the PMP recertification requirement. In an era of ever increasing global business, a PRINCE2 certification enables the project manager to speak the same language as their overseas colleagues, greatly increasing the likelihood of project success. And it is a qualification which helps the project management professional stand out from the crowd.
