PRINCE2 within a Project Management Career
Undergoing an exam and training for PRINCE2 is often useful for a Project Manager or other types of roles within the project environment as many PRINCE2 principles can be applied outside of the program. There are 7 principles of PRINCE2 that ensure a project is aligned with the methodology, and whilst not every aspect is applicable to all project every process has the capacity to use PRINCE2 in some amount; this allows members of the project team to determine how much of the process to apply.
PRINCE2 Courses and Qualifications
By providing a framework to execute projects rather than directly having to manage them, completing a PRINCE2 course is worthwhile in a project environment. The official PRINCE2 courses can be taught online or in a classroom and currently are:
- PRINCE2 2017 Foundation
- PRINCE2 2017 Practitioner
- PRINCE2 2017 Foundation and Practitioner
- PRINCE2 Agile Foundation
- PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner
- PRINCE2 Agile Foundation and Practitioner
A PRINCE2 Foundation qualification will cover the PRINCE2 principles and terminology; qualifying you to act as an informed member of a project management team who can utilise the PRINCE2 methodology. This training program can be studied on its own or after gaining a pass mark is a prerequisite for the PRINCE2 Practitioner course. The practitioner level sees course material covering the use of PRINCE2 within a project environment, including the relationship between principles, themes, processes and PRINCE2 products.
The PRINCE2 Agile qualification is also divided into the foundation and practitioner levels; this type of course teaches how to combine PRINCE2 with agile methodology to use with the corporate management process. the Agile Foundation also requires no prerequisite like the 2017 version, and once qualified you would have the ability to understand how PRINCE2 works with agile concepts. The Agile Practitioner course teaches certified project managers ways to blend PRINCE2 with agile methods and techniques.
Project management certifications for PRINCE2 and PRINCE2 Agile are successful through completing a PRINCE2 Foundation exam which covers the principles and terminology of the project management methodology. The Practitioner examination is used to determine if PRINCE2 process can be correctly applied to a non-complex project, where a case study will be used to determine how well the methodology can be applied to the project scenario.
It is always important to check the course information and faqs before undergoing foundation or practitioner training.
Turning a business case into a successful project takes time and experience within the field of project management; if you’re wanting to expand your skill-set and knowledge as a project management professional consider a PRINCE2 course online, in a classroom or even in a blended scenario.
