What are the advantages of PRINCE2?
Many project managers adopt this methodology of project manager. But we ask ourselves the question of why? Why do so many people put themselves through PRINCE2 training?
Firstly PRINCE2 uses established techniques that have been implemented by many project managers and has proven best practice and governance for project management. The PRINCE2 methodology can be applied to any type of project and can be applied to industry specific scenarios. As a result it is highly recognised and understood, providing a common language for all project participants promoting effective communication between all members of the project. There is a defined structure for accountability, communication, authority and delegation.
It heavily focuses on the planning of the project; as the saying goes if you don't have a plan, plan to fail'. The planning is designed to meet the needs of the different levels of management and improves the communication and control of management. It ensures that all participants in the project focus on the viability of the project in relation to the business rather than just completing the project and moving on to the next. It provides a thorough but economical structure of reports in order to meet the overall business objectives.
The stakeholders are represented in the planning stage and decision making of the business so that everyone in all levels of the project knows what is expected. This allows for continual improvement in organisations and allows for enhanced learning environments for project participants. PRINCE2 promotes consistency of project work and can reuse valuable project memory to ensure that future projects are also successful. The problem of handovers and changes are also eradicated as it PRINCE2 training is an invaluable diagnostic tool.
