Purchase: PRINCE2: A Practical Handbook
I recently did a webinar for IT Governance about using PRINCE2 for small projects. It seemed to go down well and I gave out several templates and examples of case studies that should be useful.
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.
One of the main reasons for the Starting up a Project process is that the project mandate often lacks essential information, hence the need to turn it into a Project Brief. Hey! Don't throw that cigarette packet away. It may be my new project mandate!
How small does a project or piece of work need to be before you stop using PRINCE2 to manage it? When does PRINCE2 become a bureaucratic overkill? How can I manage a job that is too small to be called a project? How much PRINCE2 do I use to manage a project with only a couple of people in it?
