Steeds meer bedrijven werken projectmatig. En steeds meer bedrijven en overheden gebruiken daarvoor de projectmanagementmethode PRINCE2. Dat is ook te merken aan artikelen die in vakbladen verschijnen, de aandacht die in het hoger onderwijs voor PRINCE2 bestaat en aan de snelle groei van de Prince User Group.

De voordelen van een standaardmethode zijn groot: een uniforme werkwijze en terminologie maakt projecten vergelijkbaar, onverdraagbaar en overzichtelijk. PRINCE2 heeft daarboven nog enkele kwaliteiten, zoals de standaard no go/go beslissing bij iedere fase, de Business Case als kern van het project en de duidelijke afspraken over wie waarover verantwoordelijk is.

De auteurs hebben dan ook gestreefd naar het schrijven van een toegankelijk, praktisch gebruikersboek over projectmanagement op basis van PRINCE2. De drie auteurs zijn hebben hun gezamenlijke ervaring gecombineerd met als doel een gestructureerde wijze aan te bieden aan ieder die met het besturen, inrichten of managen van projecten te maken heeft. Het boek geeft een getrouwe weergave van de (herziene) PRINCE2-methodiek, met veel opsommingen die als referentiemateriaal voor alle soorten en maten projecten kunnen dienen. Tevens biedt het boek na bestudering een goede voorbereiding op het PRINCE2 Foundation examen.

This book is a practical book for the user working daily on projects. In this book, the process-based approach to project management is described and the components and techniques necessary for this are dealt with. The description of the processes, components and techniques is based on the PRINCE2 methodology. The same process schedule has been maintained and the same components and techniques are described. The PRINCE2 terminology has also been taken over one to one. This book deals not only with the PRINCE2 methodology, but also with activities and planning resources and the project environment. This complements the PRINCE2 methodology.

PRINCE2 (Projects in Controlled Environments) is a structured method for effective project management. This publication is a guide for those intending to take the APM Group PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner examinations, and also provides advice for those taking the APM Group Practitioner Re-Registration examination.

It contains examples of multiple choice questions and specimen answers to typical project management situations, and supersedes the 2002 revised ed.

This pocketbook has been produced as a reference tool for the trained PRINCE2 Practitioner who is assumed to be familiar with the method and the terminology. This title should be used in conjunction with Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2 which contains full details of the method.

PRINCE2 (Projects in Controlled Environments) is an easy to follow structured project management method suitable for any type of project. The processes and techniques in PRINCE2 will help your project team cope with the risks, challenges and opportunities of today's rapidly changing environment.

PRINCE2 is a very adaptable project management method, but new users particularly find knowing how and where to adapt it to the size and scope of their projects somewhat daunting. This can lead to over-zealous adherence to unnecessary levels of formality and detail in smaller, low-risk projects, and the impression of excessive bureaucracy on the part of PRINCE2. Conversely, it can also lead to inappropriate short cuts being taken in other cases, undermining the integrity of the method, the control and management of risk that it provides.

This book guides readers on how to stay on the safe ground between these two extremes - appropriate fine tuning of the method is illustrated in examples. Bridging the gap between the theory of the PRINCE2 Manual and the inconsistencies of real situations it provides practical, compliant advice designed to keep PRINCE2 projects moving but under control.

This CD-ROM describes the PRINCE2 project management method which provides detailed guidance on how to set up, organise, manage, control and deliver your projects on time, within budget and to the right quality.

PRINCE2 is owned and developed by OGC, the Office of Government Commerce. OGC develops best-practice guidance to help improve the effectiveness and efficiency of public sector organisations. OGC's guidance has been adopted by government organisations and commercial companies throughout the world.

This CD-ROM version of Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2 contains the full text of the paper edition, highlighting definitions of common names and terms through pop-up glossaries. Fully searchable, the CD-ROM gives you easy access to the manual content on your PC. With appropriate permissions it can be loaded onto your organisation Intranet encouraging a best-practice approach throughout your organisation.

The key to the success or failure of every project is the Project Manager's ability to deal with the gap between the plan and reality. PRINCE2 provides Project Managers with highly effective ways of managing any discrepancies. However no plan or methodology can be entirely fool proof against the single most unpredictable element in any project: people.

Because human factors are so central to every project, OGC has developed guidance to help managers tackle this issue. PRINCE2 is about controlling the various risks to which projects are subject: the better the risks are managed the more likely the project is to be successful.

PRINCE2 offers detailed guidance on setting up, organising, managing, controlling and delivering projects on time, within budget and to the highest standards.

There is comprehensive advice to help your project team cope with the risks and challenges involved in project management and take advantage of all the opportunities available.

This volume (which is part of the Business Systems Development series) shows how all the products and techniques of a computer development project can be brought together within a complete method (SSADM). It contains sections on the individual products and techniques of SSADM and then goes on to show how they interrelate with each other.

It also includes details on the managing of SSADM projects and how to customise the SSADM method and provides a product breakdown structure and a structural model both of which can be used as the basis for planning a computer development project.
