Prince 2 : a practical handbook

This practical handbook is designed for those interested in the PRINCE 2 method, whether they aim to implement it, are clients of contractors using it, or are participants in PRINCE 2-managed projects. It thoroughly describes the components, processes, and techniques of PRINCE 2, relating them to real-world project setup and management. The book illustrates how PRINCE 2 ensures project viability and resource efficiency before significant expenditures occur. It addresses key management concerns including project initiation, product control, quality, risk management, change, and project closure. Additionally, it outlines the typical management products associated with a project and provides role descriptions for all defined positions. Colin Bentley, a co-author of the PRINCE 2 manual, brings over 22 years of experience with PRINCE and its predecessor, PROMPT II, establishing himself as a leading authority on the method. He collaborates with the APM Group to develop examination materials and accredit trainers and courses in PRINCE 2. This publication has been reviewed by the technical committee of the PRINCE User Group Ltd. and is confirmed to align with PRINCE Version 2 concepts.
