After this course you know PRINCE2 Version 7 well enough to make sense of project documents, understand the roles and speak the same language as your team. You see how principles, people, practices and processes work together, and how to adapt the method to a project rather than following it rigidly. The course suits you if you lead or coordinate projects, work in a PMO or your company uses PRINCE2. There are no formal prerequisites. If you later want to apply the method independently, Practitioner is the next step.
What you’ll take away.
