Use Prince2 And Celebrate Project Success
Fri 11th September 2009
Training courses are available for those who wish to expand their knowledge of Prince2 and help bring projects to a triumphant end. From the initial project idea through to its end, Prince2 can be used to guide tasks every step of the way. It is a logical system that helps you define the job roles and resources that you will need to achieve success.
The basic idea behind the system is that projects need to be well-organised and controlled from the very start to their end. Once you have been taught the principles of Prince2 you will be equipped to launch your own assignments and ask questions about the most important factors that have the greatest impact on your project, such as time and resources. Prince 2 courses highlight the importance of team members and the varying important roles they take on.
The standardised system defines teams in terms of Project Managers, Customers, Users, Suppliers and the Project Board. These titles can help you define who is involved in the organising, planning and execution of tasks and how their responsibilities to the team affect the running of assignments. After the Project Manager has been appointed and before work gets started on the task at hand, the system requires the manager to outline the scope of the campaign, the other colleagues to be involved and the goals of the assignment.
Once this information has been put together it can be looked at by the Project Board, who can voice their thoughts on the brief. Sitting on the board are the group paying for the project, the company who will benefit from it and the workers assigned to carry out the task at hand, in the Prince2 system these are referred to as the customer/executive, the user, and supplier/specialist. In order to ensure campaigns are successfully run, Prince2 recognises that regular two-way conversation among the team is imperative.
As campaigns progress this system provides a plan to keep them on the right track so they do not grind to a halt due to avoidable problems. In order to check that all members of the team are satisfied that the assignment is continuing as they see fit Project Assurance techniques are applied, which gives all sectors a voice to raise concerns if necessary. In addition, to assist you with the many tasks that crop up as the campaign continues Prince2 outlines ways in which you can set up a Project Support Office to help with arranging meetings and keeping files in order.
Potential problems can also be flagged up by the system as it can be used to forecast damaging outcomes via its Risk Management and Quality Management applications. Here you can learn how to identify issues and resolve them so your project has a greater chance of success.
