OGC PRINCE2 Exam Examples By Colin Bentley

Colin Bentley has been a project manager since 1966 and has managed many projects, large and small, in several countries. He has been working with PRINCE2, PRINCE and its predecessor, PROMPT II, since 1975. He was one of the team that brought PROMPT II to the marketplace, wrote the major part of the PRINCE2 manual and is the author of all revisions to the manual until the 2009 version.

He was the Chief Examiner for PRINCE2 from its beginning until 2008 and wrote all Foundation and Practitioner exam papers and marked them until they reached the massive volumes that are sat today. Now retired, he has had over twenty books published, lectured widely on PRINCE2 and acted as project management consultant to such firms as The London Stock Exchange, Microsoft Europe, Tesco Stores, Commercial Union and the BBC. He still writes books on the PRINCE2 method and has updated them all to reflect the 2009 version.

IS PRINCE2 TOO BUREAUCRATIC? PART 7

Do we need an Exception Report? – remember, no-one says it has to be written. Should we advise the Project Board that one or more of their tolerance limits is under threat? Should we do this as soon as we know about it? Of course we should. Have a look at the information that PRINCE2 suggests should be made available to the Project Board when an exception situation arises. It all looks sensible and necessary.
