This publication provides a universally applicable project management method - the principles, processes and techniques that enable individuals and organisations to successfully deliver their projects within time, cost and quality constraints.
Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2 forms part of a pair of publications that are the result of the PRINCE2: 2009 Project to update the PRINCE2 guidance. Its companion is Directing Successful Projects with PRINCE2.
The title has been designed to be a role specific handbook for Project Managers, Team Managers and Project Support.
The new 2009 edition:
- Explains the principles that underpin PRINCE2
- Describes the PRINCE2 processes in their entirety
- Describes 'Key Themes' of project management, specific to PRINCE2, that are required for the processes to be effective
- Cross-references techniques that may be applied
- Explains how to tailor the method
- Provides context of when and how to use PRINCE2 for different project environments (e.g. standalone or as part of a programme).
Like the 2005 guidance, the book contains chapters on Starting Up a Project, Directing a Project, Initiating a Project, Controlling a Stage, Managing Product Delivery, Managing Stage Boundary and Closing a Project.
In addition, the guidance also looks at the wider role of the Project Manager, including:
- soft skills of the project manager;
- leading and managing;
- stakeholder engagement and communication planning;
- organisational change management;
- PRINCE2 in different types of organisation and cultures; and
- training needs for project teams.
