PRINCE2®
Benefits
Using PRINCE2® provides you with greater control of
resources, and the ability to manage business and project
risk more effectively, which provides benefits to:
* project
managers
* directors/executives of projects
* organisations
Using
PRINCE2® in your projects will give you common systems,
procedures and language. This will enable you to make fewer
mistakes, to learn from those that you do make, and ultimately
save money and effort. The PRINCE2® method is non-proprietary
and easy to learn, and embodies established and proven best
practice across the wide cross section of organisations who
have contributed to its evolution since the 1980s. By adopting
PRINCE2® as your project management method, you are
benefiting from lessons learned by these other organisations.
In
summary, the PRINCE2® formal recognition of responsibilities
within a project, together with its focus on what a project
is to deliver (the why, when and for whom) provides your organisation's
projects with:
* A common, consistent approach
* A controlled and organised start, middle and end
* Regular reviews of progress against plan
* Assurance that the project continues to have a business
justification
* Flexible decision points
* Management control of any deviations from the plan
* The involvement of management and stakeholders at the right
time and place during the project
* Good communication channels between the project, project
management, and the rest of the organisation
* A means of capturing and sharing lessons learned
* A route to increasing the project management skills and
competences of the organisation's staff at all levels
