Introduction and Overview
UKAS/the Cabinet Office/APMG Accredited Training Company Event – Registration 001

PRINCE2 is increasingly being viewed as “best practice” project management and taken up by leading private sector companies worldwide as well as public sector organisations in the UK and overseas. PRINCE2 provides a “Process – Driven” approach to project management with processes to support each of the main “drivers” within the project.

PRINCE2 is suitable for planning and controlling any type of project, regardless of scope or size.

The event is suitable for project managers, project support, team members and managers from any discipline. Senior managers will also benefit from understanding how decision-support information is created and passed to appropriate managers.

The PRINCE2 method is flexible and adaptable for any type and size of project, and offers an excellent management foundation for any member of staff; no prior experience is necessary.

• Provide Delegates with an overall understanding of the benefits and principles that can be found in a structured approach to project management.
• Provide Delegates with an appreciation of the principles of PRINCE2 within a work environment.
• Enable communication with project management colleagues responsible for using PRINCE2 as the means of planning and controlling projects.
• Enable Delegates to contribute to planning projects and management stages by having a basic understanding of the principles of structured project management and PRINCE2 in particular.
• Enable Delegates to understand that PRINCE2 is really “structured common-sense” and that the introduction of the Method will add value to existing procedures.

• Introduction To The PRINCE2 Method
  An introductory session to set the scene. The PRINCE2 Processes, Components and Techniques will be identified and briefly explained. What PRINCE2 is, and is not, will be discussed. The benefits of introducing PRINCE2 will also be covered.
• The Process-Based Approach
  There are eight main Processes within PRINCE2, embracing Start-up through to Closing A Project. A high level Process Map will be produced to illustrate how the Processes inter-relate and the flow of project information between each Process. This will provide a summary of how PRINCE2 operates, to manage any project. The Processes are: Start Up, Initiating a Project, Directing a Project, Controlling a Stage, Managing Product Delivery, Managing Stage Boundaries, Closing a Project and Planning.
• PRINCE2 Components
  Delegates will be invited to select topics of interest for further detailed briefing; the Components are: Organisation; Planning; Controls; Business Case; Risk Management; Quality; Change Control and Configuration Management.
• Techniques
  Delegates will be invited to select topics of interest for further detailed briefing; the Techniques are: Product-based Planning; Quality Review; Change Control.
• Implementation
  The options that are available for tailoring and implementation of PRINCE2 – and how IIL Project Management can help achieve a successful conclusion.

The normal style of delivery will be traditional with the Event Manager taking the attendees through each element of the Method and illustrating each key point with visuals. Questions and discussion will be encouraged throughout the event. A summary of how each Process operates and the linkages that exist between the major Processes will be presented using a summary Process Model. This model is unique to IIL Project Management and is a powerful way of demonstrating how the Method works. The briefing will be delivered in a style appropriate to the level of attendees and will be fully responsive to attendees’ needs.
