The PRINCE2 Glossary I like reading books, but I got tired of reading little kids books, and I wanted to start reading big people books. But when I started reading them, one of the first things I realized was that they had a lot of words I didn’t understand. So I guessed what they might mean, but I couldn’t make sense of parts of the book. So then I got into the habit of keeping a dictionary nearby, and each time I came across word that I didn’t understand, I…

Recertification changes for PRINCE2 2017 With Prince Two 2009 version, practitioners needed to pass a reregistration exam every three to five years to obtain their certification. But with the Prince 2217 Practitioner Certification, it’s valid for just three years. There will be no more reregistration exams for either Prince Two 2009 or Prince 2217, which begs question how do you keep your certification current? To refresh your certification, you will need to report 20 CPD points per year over three year cycle. A CPD is a continuing professional development point…

Theme No 6 Change Part 2 But at the same time, we must ensure that we still have a project that is compliant with Prince Two. And just to stick the obvious, I hope we don’t want to tailor down to the absolute minimum every time, because one reason is it can actually take extra time and money to do that. But also, by tailoring to the absolute bare bones, we can recycle some quite beneficial aspects of the Prince Two framework. But it’s just we need to have a…

The communications and directions given to be tailored down to be phone calls, SMS messages or even simply spoken instructions. And in many circumstances there may be no record of those instructions. So when working in these circumstances, I usually write the instructions down and then I email them back to the person who gave me the instructions so…

Process No 7 Closing a Project Part 2 We have read lessons learned from previous projects that were relevant to closing the project. We also need to record lessons learned throughout the project, and then when we are closing it, you need to check that these have all been filed way securely and they can be easily formed again. It’s important to note that even if a project is closed prematurely, you must still record lessons learned. And lessons from a field project might prevent future projects from failing. Some…

Process No 5 Managing Product Delivery Part 2 Shows how the three activities from this process are connected. Please remember that managing product delivery is from the viewpoint of the team manager. You can see from this diagram. The team manager accepts a work package and receives authority from the project manager to action it. It is important to remember that a work package is not a product. Think of it as a package of doc payments used for creating the product and for tracking the product. Next, the team…

Such as additionally, the project manager suggests a way to break the project into management stages. This plan is then submitted to the project board for approval. The minimum number of stages that a principal project can have is two the initiation stage and one other stage. To increase or decrease the level of control the project board has over the project….

Process No 2 Directing a project Part 2 Authorized initiation. The purpose of this activity is to make sure that only worthwhile projects get initiated. The Project Board receives a request to initiate the project from the Project Manager. The Project Board will check the project brief and the stage plan, and in fact, they may ask Project Assurance to help out with this. If they believe the outline business case demonstrates a viable project, then they will review and approved the project brief and the stage plan. And in…

Process No 1 Starting up a project Part 1veg My goal is to highlight and explain the key parts, but it is imperative that you also read the corresponding sections of the guide. Otherwise, to put it simply, you will not pass the exam. But as I’ve said before, a number of times you always need to check key words and phrases in The Prince to Glossary. And if you’re familiar with the 2009 version of The Princeary Guide, you will find a number of parts of the Glossary and…
