I have written a description and pieces of advice on how to pass the PRINCE2 Foundation exam. This is free to anyone who would like it. Just reply to this blog or email me at colin@colinbentley.co.uk and I will email a copy to you.
Revised throughout to match the details and requirements of the 2009 PRINCE2 manual and simplified to make it more useful for those who are new to the method, PRINCE2 Revealed, second edition, is the perfect first reference. A readable end-to-end overview of the complex PRINCE2 method that starts from a more accessible level than other detailed manuals, it will ease you into the topic and put the method into a real world context.
How often do we hear the moan, “PRINCE2 is OK, but it’s too bureaucratic”. Recently I even heard a comment that PRINCE2 turned the Project Manager into little more than a scribe for the Project Board. In my opinion, people who say these things don’t really understand the method or are subscribers to the ‘just do it’ school of project management.
Struggling to apply the principles of PRINCE2 in practice?
Need guidance on adapting the method for smaller projects?
PRINCE2: A Practical Handbook, third edition, provides the solution. This practical reference, matching the detail and requirements of the 2009 PRINCE2 manual, contains real-life examples and case studies, links between related themes and processes, and clear guidance on how to fine-tune the method to help you manage projects successfully, whatever the context or size.
