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.*Achieving the Certificate of Completion will provide 5 PDUs for the PMI Recertification requirements in the Talent Triangle Ways of Working and Business Acumen (see in Bold).Business Acumen Benefits Management and Realization Business Models and Structures Competitive Analysis Customer Relationships and Satisfaction Industry Domain Knowledge Legal and Regulatory Compliance Market Awareness Function-Specific Knowledge Strategic Planning, Analysis, Alignment Ways of Working Agile and Hyper AgileHybrid Design Thinking Transformation Data Gathering and Modeling Earned Value Management Governance Performance Management Requirements Management and Traceability Risk Management Schedule Management Scope Management Time, Budget and Cost Estimation
