INTRODUCTION SCENARIO+MANDATE: THE FULL SAMPLE PROJECT
Welcome to this full PRINCE2® project explained
All 26 Management product are explained and available online !
We have noticed in our PRINCE2® courses
- It is difficult to understand a method without a full example
- We are curious and wonder how does a project made with PRINCE2® looks like
- We might also wonder if we are doing the right thing
We created this project to respond to this need
We’ve chosen a general topic so everyone can understand independently of your experience, background or activity field
We provide one exemple of each Management Products as a exemple
- 5 different Project Managers doing the same project in 5 different companies would have done it certainly 5 different ways…
- There is not ONE way to do a PRINCE2® project
- In this example we paid specific attention to stick to the 4 integrated elements, with very limited tailoring, to serve as a reference
Explanations are in orange in the text
