What is PRINCE2?
The method describes how a project can be divided into manageable stages enabling efficient control of resources and timely progress monitoring. The various roles and responsibilities for managing a project are fully described and are adaptable to suit the project's size, complexity and the skills within the organisation. Project planning using PRINCE2 is product-based which means the project plans are focused on delivering results and are not simply about planning when the various activities for the project will be done.
Driving any PRINCE2 project is the business case, which describes the organisation's justification, commitment and rationale for the deliverables or outcome. The Business Case is reviewed regularly during the project so as to ensure the business objectives, which may change during the lifecycle of the project, are still being met.
What are the benefits of PRINCE2?
PRINCE2 provides organisations with a standard approach to the management of projects. The method embodies proven and established best practice. It is generic, non-proprietary and widely recognised. As well as helping the managers and directors of a project, PRINCE2 also offers benefits to the organisation as a whole. These are achieved through the controllable use of resources and the ability to manage business and project risk more effectively. PRINCE2 enables projects to have:
- a controlled and organised start, middle and end
- regular reviews of progress against plan and against the Business Case
- flexible decision points
- automatic management control of any deviations from the plan
- the involvement of management and stakeholders at the right time and place during the project
- the necessary controls and breakpoints to work successfully within any required contractual framework
- a common language across all the interested parties thereby ensuring effective communication channels between the project team, project management and the rest of the organisation
PRINCE2 Training and AFA
AFA sat on the review panel for the PRINCE2 2009 refresh project as well as piloting the new examinations. Also the 'Tailoring PRINCE2' chapter, which now forms an integral part of the PRINCE2 2009 guidance is adapted from the OGC publication, 'Tailoring PRINCE2', which was written by AFA's managing director, Alan Ferguson.
Many AFA trainers and consultants have served on the editing teams and review panels for all recent updates of the guidance manuals; several AFA consultants also act as examiners and assessors for one or more of the methodologies.
