An increasing number of companies are working in a project-based environment. And an increasing number of companies and government departments use the PRINCE2[Registered] project management method. This is particularly noticeable in articles appearing in professional magazines, the attention paid in higher education to PRINCE2[Registered] and the fast growth of the Prince User Group. The advantages of a standard method are great: a uniform method of working and terminology assists in a company's project management training and makes projects transferable and their success measurable. Moreover, PRINCE2[Registered] has additional qualities, such as having the Business Case at the centre of the project, clear agreements about who is responsible for what, and solid management control of all project variables at all times. We are pleased to have this easy-to-read, practical user guide about project management, based on PRINCE2[Registered]. The three authors have successfully combined their tremendous experience and made this available in a structured manner to those who are involved in controlling, designing or managing projects. The book gives a faithful representation of the (reviewed) PRINCE2[Registered] methodology, with many checklists serving as reference material for all project types and sizes. Furthermore, the book can serve as a good basis for those wishing to pass the PRINCE2[Registered] Foundation exams. This book, without doubt, fulfils a great demand and is well worth reading and studying. Applied with common sense, it will contribute greatly to a successful project. Book jacket.
