The PRINCE2® Practitioner Training Manual
Thank you for reading our PRINCE2 Training Manual. The main objective of this book is to provide an easy-to-read and easy-to-understand PRINCE2® manual. The idea for this book came from the questions I received from people trying to learn PRINCE2 and after reading the official PRINCE2 manual “Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2”. The official PRINCE2 Manual for the Project Manager is an excellent reference manual but can be rather difficult to pick up and read if you are new to both project management and PRINCE2. So this book is meant to be – and is – an easy introduction to PRINCE2 and is quickly becoming the most read book for people wishing to learn about PRINCE2 and prepare for Foundation Exam and Practitioner Exam. Feedback: We welcome any feedback (suggests to improve or corrections), Feedback

    The Prince

    “The Prince” originally written for princes and rulers is a book written with monarchies in mind, describing how to rule in all different varieties of monarchies; from dynasties to newly developing monarchies. This book also goes into great detail of how to maintain existing monarchies or how to conquer and keep them under your rule. Older monarchies or dynasties are tougher to conquer and keep because if you cannot win the hearts of the people they will rebel to restore power to their beloved leader they watched grow in front of their eyes. Once conquered you must remember to have the people be partial to your conduct. You can rule with an iron fist or a soft heart but you must show strength while being sensitive to the people you now rule. This is very important as your army is never as strong as the people you conquer and you will need them on your side when to control you new land. When Louis the XII took over Milan he made this same mistake along with a few others that Machiavelli goes into detail about. When Louis conquered the land he promised the people of Milan that he will be a great leader and that they needed him. Once in power the people were not impressed and overthrew his rule to bring back their existing ruler. The people of Milan found that the grass was not greener and wanted to get things back to the way they were. Machivelli also speaks about that when taking over a foreign land that is unknown to you, you must move to that land to offset any upheaval. Moving to the land will give the people faith in you as a rule and will let you deal with any discrepancies face to face. If you cannot move to the land you must consider colonizing the land by taking the land from the people and giving to your own. Colonization will upset the natives but they will be powerless with no land or money from that land. You now have the power to make your colony strong while making your neighbors weaker (thus as the Romans did). If you do not colonize…

    The Prince

    A good leader is one who does not promote liberality because liberality makes the leader despised, hated and poor. If he is despised by the people, the people will arrange a conspiracy against the prince; therefore, the prince needs to satisfy the people to some extent (Machiavelli 3). To do this the prince will arm the people and soldiers (5). Nicolo Machiavelli also states another quality that the prince must lack is greed and abuse of woman (3). Machiavelli’s ideal leader uses meanness and cruelty as a weapon to instill peace and loyalty (1). The good leader is merciless so disorders like robberies and or murders cannot arise (1). A wise leader can carefully utilize wealth properly…

    PRINCE2 Question: I am studying E2 at the moment. Under the topic of PRINCE2, both the BPP book and the official Learning System state that there are 8 components and 8 processes. However, when I studied for the PRINCE2 exam using the official PRINCE2 Manual, there should be 7 components and 7 processes. I am wondering if this is a mistake in the BPP book? If there is a question in the exam on PRINCE2, shall I answer 7 processes or 8? Response from tutor: 7 will be more than plenty so do not worry. Questions on PRINCE are unlikely to go to that level of detail anyway. Critical Success Factor Question: I would like to know the difference between a KPI and CSF. Response from tutor: The simple answer is that a KPI will be a measure or number, and a CSF will be a statement. This comes from project management in IT and has been generalised. For something to happen (a project to succeed, a business to make money) the first question is 'what needs to happen to make it happen?' - those things are the CSFs. The next question is 'how can we make sure those things happen and are being delivered?’ - that gives rise to KPIs. Setting KPIs means management focus on getting the critical things done, and measuring and reporting the KPIs allows management to monitor them. Project Structure Question: What are the key characteristics of a matrix project structure? Response from tutor: The most obvious feature is the project manager standing at the centre of a web. This manager can call on the services of the divisions of the firm (say finance, sales, marketing, R&D, IT and so on) and must co-ordinate them to achieve the project aims. The other feature will be secondment of staff from these other divisions to the project for set lengths of time. The adverse characteristics that result are confusion over where loyalties lie, a maze of cross charging, and high degrees of interpersonal conflict resulting from the divisions each seeking to retain its own autonomy and interests. Critical…
