iiIntroduction to PRINCE2Thank you for downloading this book and for your interest in PRINCE2. The main objective of this book is to provide a logical and easy-to-understand introduction to PRINCE2 . The idea forthis book came from the questions I received from people trying to learn PRINCE2 and afterreading the PRINCE2 manual.The PRINCE2 manual for the Project Manager is an excellent reference manual, but can berather difficult to pick up and read if you are both new to project management and to PRINCE2.So this book is meant to be an easy introduction to PRINCE2, as it is quickly becoming the mostread book on PRINCE2:2009.The information in this book is also available in other formats, such as Computer-BasedTraining (CBT) and Podcast so you can watch or listen.Test your knowledge: You can also download a Q&A podcast, which asks questions based onthe information in this introduction book. It then gives a beep signal so you can pause and thinkabout the question and when ready, then click Play to compare your answers. This is a greatway to improve your knowledge, as further information can also be provided and this is also whywe call this podcast “Learn Thru Questions.”You can also get FREE access to our PRINCE2 full Self Study (Foundation or Practitioner)course when you book your PRINCE2 Foundation or Practitioner exam with us.

An Introduction to PRINCE2 11 The TAG Introduction to PRINCE21.1 Course Objectives – Classroom Preparation CourseThe main objective of this course is to provide an overview of the PRINCE2 Process Model.The PRINCE2 manual is excellent and describes each element of PRINCE2 in great detail. It iseasy to read and it is also a very good reference manual. Also, the PDF version is easier to searchfor desired subjects.The majority of people who start to study PRINCE2 by first reading the PRINCE2 manual have thefollowing feedback. They would like to understand: The normal path of a projectHow a project begins and the steps until the project closesHow all the processes fit together and how the outputs from one process are the inputs toanotherThis course therefore provides a high-level overview of PRINCE2 using the Process Model. It ispossibly the best introduction to PRINCE2, as you will be able to follow the path of a typical projectand revise your knowledge of PRINCE2, for example, by drawing the Process Model diagram andexplaining it in your own words.I have included some exercise sheets (see our website) so you can practice drawing the PRINCE2Process Model and filling in the missing information. Once you are able to draw the completemodel, then you will have an excellent grounding in PRINCE2 and will find it much easier to takethe Foundation or Practitioner courses.Check that you are reading the latest version of the book: Click here to check1.2 Course ContentsThis book is also available in a podcast format, which takes about 60 minutes to download. Thisbook covers the following points: the trigger to start a projectthe steps when starting a project and who does whatwhich documents are requiredwhen certain documents are created and by whoman overview of the major roles in the projecthow the project moves from startup, to initiation, to stages until the project is closedthe typical inputs and outputs for each processhow the project board controls the project1.3 Organization1.3.1 Project Organization IntroductionBefore we start the Process Model Introduction, it is necessary to take a brief look at the ProjectOrganization. as these terms are used during the rest of this course.This is a very simple overview and the diagram shows the four levels of a Project ManagementStructure (also called “Project Organization”).The Project Management Team has just three levels. The top level is the Project Board level andthe lower level is the Team Manager level. The project team is a temporary structure; it is createdfor the project and is disbanded once the project is completed.Mg

The official PRINCE2 Manual for the Project Manager is an excellent reference manual but can be rather difficult to pick up and read if you are both new to project management or new to PRINCE2. How is the PRINCE2 Foundation Training Manual different from the official PRINCE2 manual?
