Guaranteed Success For PRINCE2 Exams

PRINCE2 (Projects In Controlled Environments) is a globally accepted de facto process-based approach used for efficient project management, control, and organization. The main objectives of PRINCE2 are:

     – business justification;
     – learn from experience;
     – defined responsibilities and roles;
     – product-oriented planning approach;
     – emphasizing manageable & controllable stages of projects;
     – increasing flexibility to the project.

PRINCE2 was founded in 1989 by CCTA (the Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency) as a standard of information systems (IT) project management initiative approved by the UK Government. And in 2013, the rights to this approach were transferred to AXELOS Ltd, after which PRINCE2 became an officially registered trademark of AXELOS Limited.

It is currently the most common project management methodology used in more than 150 countries around the world.

Certifications

The PRINCE2 certification program was developed for mastering the PRINCE2 methodology in project management and it falls into two qualification levels - Foundation and Practitioner. The program also includes the PRINCE2 Agile path, which is subdivided into the same levels as well.

In more detail, the Foundation level covers an introduction to the basic topics, processes, and principles of PRINCE2. Candidates at this level can effectively deliver projects on time, as well as meet budgets, control potential risks, and mitigate problems that arise.

At the Practitioner level, however, certified specialists are able to adapt and apply the PRINCE2 approach to the challenges and requirements of a specific project.

Anyway, the PRINCE2 certification tracks have been designed for:

     – Individuals wish to enhance project management skills to achieve wider employment prospects
     – Novice and experienced professionals, including, Project Managers, Directors/executives (senior responsible owners) of projects
     – Organizations dealing with projects

Thus, the entire PRINCE2 accreditation pathway includes 4 major qualifications.

PRINCE2 Foundation certification has been designed for motivated candidates who are interested to learn about the fundamental methodology as well as key terminology of PRINCE2. This accreditation can be obtained separately or as one of the steps on the way to becoming a PRINCE2 Practitioner.

PRINCE2 Practitioner certification track is offered to already certified applicants who can prove their expertise in managing projects efficiently within a PRINCE2 environment. As noted above, it requires the PRINCE2 Foundation certificate as a pre-requisite or any of the suggested third-party certifications in project management.

PRINCE2 Agile Foundation qualification is intended for anyone who wants to involve core agile techniques and concepts but doesn’t have a prior accreditation. As a result, specialists with this certificate will be able to participate in agile projects as full and informed members of the team.

PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner designation is designed for qualified candidates with one of the available accreditations in the project management field. This professional should be ready to demonstrate that s/he knows how to bend PRINCE2’s governance, control, and structure with various agile techniques, approaches, and methods.
