The PRINCE2 manual contains 26 suggested templates for documentation associated with the project, which it terms management products and which are divided into baselines, records and reports. Some examples of management products are:
The 26 Management Products described by PRINCE2 are only used for the "high-level" management of the project. Within its tasks, task managers must still decide on their own project management framework.Some suggestions given in the PRINCE2 manual are product based planning, change control, quality review technique, Gantt charts, PERT charts and critical path analysis.
Below is a list of all the editions of PRINCE2. As of 1 January 2020, "PRINCE2 2017" was renamed "PRINCE2 6th Edition". Also, the previous edition, "PRINCE2 2009" was renamed "PRINCE2 5th Edition". There were no other changes except the name of the brand. The reason for the name change was to "ensure the format of the name is aligned with that used by other frameworks within the project management industry".[12] As list of all versions of PRINCE2 are printed in the cover of the PRINCE2 manual:
PRINCE2 certifications, awarded by AXELOS, require the user to undertake a training course with an Accredited Training Organisation (ATO) followed by an exam. The training and exam may be online or in person.[14] AXELOS requires that any organisation providing official PRINCE2 training must go through an accreditation process in order to validate the quality of the course content and delivery. Once approved, the organisation can use the title Accredited Training Organisation (ATO).[15] Trainers must be re-accredited every 3 years and undergo a surveillance check every 12 months.[16]
The experiences of the Blair administration in the UK between 1997 and 2007 (and of subsequent UK governments) arguably undermine PRINCE2's claim to be "best practice", given the string of high-profile failed IT projects charged to the taxpayer during that time,[22][23][24] and the controversy surrounding the financial relationship between the Blair government and PRINCE2's co-owners Capita.[25][26] PRINCE2's training material addresses these failures, blaming them on inappropriate tailoring of PRINCE2 to the project environment, and advocating for more PRINCE2 training for government project managers to solve the problem.
PRINCE2 foundation exam costs up to INR 32,000 depending on the online training or self-paced. Prince2 foundation exam format consists of 60 multiple choice questions with 55% of passing marks. The exam is held in closed-book format and has a 60-minute time limit.
Whatever PRINCE2 book (or books) you choose to purchase, the most crucial thing to remember is to make sure they are compatible with the most recent edition of the manual. Make sure you aren't purchasing the outdated edition by mistake because copies of numerous outdated versions are still circulating around.
The best book for PRINCE2 foundation test preparation is the PRINCE2 Foundation Study Guide by Frank Turley since it includes an easy-to-read handbook to help you understand and pass the PRINCE2 Foundation exam. Also, it is the only PRINCE2 training book available that is specifically focused on the Foundation syllabus.
This is a hands-on training. There will be no presentations to explain the theory and foundation of PRINCE2, as this is supposed to be known. There will be both individual and group exercises to put PRINCE2 into practice, based on a scenario. There will be room for questions & discussion, so to better understand the method. Every day, part of the sample PRINCE2 Practitioner Test Exam will be solved and corrected in group.
If you have not attended the PRINCE2 Foundation training or studied this methodology, we strongly advise you to either prepare by reading (eg Pocket Guide or parts of the Manual) or follow our eLearning module.
During the training you will receive an exam voucher with Take2 option for an online PRINCE2 Practitioner exam. You will do your exam after the training at a date/hour of your choice. Please be aware that you will have to install an 'exam shield' on you PC before taking the exam. More information during the training.
The manual has been carefully structured in line with the official PRINCE2 course to ensure you gain the information you need to pass your exams and work in this industry. Once you begin your Project Management career, this book can be a helpful resource to refresh your skills and knowledge.
