Using PRINCE2 - The Project Manager's Guide

The rapid spread and adoption of PRINCE2 has been one of the major recent developments in project management. It provides a framework for the organisation in tackling projects. It also provides a common language and understanding that can be transferred within and between organisations.

PRINCE2 can appear bureaucratic but if a method is to work there have to be ‘rules of the road’. The art of using the method is in knowing which rules are important to your organisation and your projects.

This book allows a project manager with a grounding in PRINCE to see the rules in relation to the role of the project manager. The authors have made a valuable contribution to ensuring that PRINCE2 remains a practical tool for the project manager.
This book has been written to give people involved in projects a guide on how to use the PRINCE2 methodology. The generic approach that the PRINCE2 method adopts has been maintained throughout.

Primarily aimed at project managers, the bullet-point format will help to trigger thoughts when preparing documentation and using the processes and components. This book should be used as a reference guide when managing projects, but can also be read from start to finish to give a rounded view of the PRINCE2 project management environment.
