After this course you can apply PRINCE2 7 to a real project, rather than just knowing the method. You decide which practices and processes are needed and in how much depth, assign roles clearly, and build in topics such as collaboration, data and sustainability. You also practise for the exam, which is open book. The course suits you if you already hold a recognised qualification, such as the Foundation, and you lead or coordinate projects or support them from a PMO.
What you’ll take away.
- Apply the principles, practices and processes to a specific project scenario
- Tailor PRINCE2 to the size, context and complexity of a project
- Assign project roles and responsibilities clearly
- Prepare specifically for the open-book Practitioner exam
