Summary
PRINCE2 is firmly established as the world's most practiced method for project management and is globally recognized for delivering successful projects。 The updated 2017 guidance， its first since 2009， places a strong emphasis on the scalability and flexibility of the method and on how best to tailor it to the complexity and specific requirements of a project。 The best practice represented by the PRINCE2 method is supported by a scheme that offers three levels of certification: Foundation， Practitioner and Professional。 The PRINCE2 method comprises of seven themes， principles， and processes and equips practitioners with the skills and knowledge to manage projects in a wide range of environments。

Okay， this is a textbook。 Five stars for what it says on the cover。 Succinct， comprehensive， and logical。 I can see this becoming a goto reference for every project start and stage development。 Modelling the project methodology using the guidance of Prince2 should be the cornerstone of an effectively managed project。 Now to prep for the exam！

They said it couldn’t be read in a day！ Well， I proved them wrong。 Couldn’t have done it without the help of Ian the knowledge academy trainer and one of the delegates who kept making long long long unnecessary observations that poor Ian had to listen to while I read ahead。 And look at me now - finished。 Don’t worry good read no spoilers suffice to say the project manager did it！

I have been managing projects for a number of years now at work。 And When I compared Project management institute PMI， and Prince2 I really felt that prince 2 better suited my style and the type of projects that I have run。 I registered for a Prince2 course and was asked by my manager to get a book and do some extra preparation before the course。 I picked up this book。 Both the eBook edition and the physical print versions。 I am normally an eBook kind of guy。 But I have found out that the Practi I have been managing projects for a number of years now at work。 And When I compared Project management institute PMI， and Prince2 I really felt that prince 2 better suited my style and the type of projects that I have run。 I registered for a Prince2 course and was asked by my manager to get a book and do some extra preparation before the course。 I picked up this book。 Both the eBook edition and the physical print versions。 I am normally an eBook kind of guy。 But I have found out that the Practitioner Exam is open book and the only resource you are allowed is this physical book。This book will teach you the Prince2 Methodology from top to bottom。 I have read the eBook， and just finished a course where we used the physical book and a student guide and exercise guide。 The instructor showed us a picture of his book with about 30 sticky note tabs sticking out from the top and one side， that he used the last time he wrote the exam。 The book will prepare you for both the Foundations and Practitioner and exams。 But it is also a great resource for anyone wanting to learn more about this excellent Project Management Methodology。 The book is full color and the sections are color coded with color tabs on the eds of the pages。 The pages are thick stock。 And glossy。 The production of the book is of the highest quality。 It is a beautiful book and excellent resource。 I like the eBook because of quick search capabilities。 But if you are taking it into the exam you need to have the physical copy。 If you are preparing for the exams make sure you get the correct edition of the book。 Currently the 2017 Edition。This book is intended for anyone who is planning on taking the exams。 Anyone looking to grow their knowledge of the method。 But it could be a great resource for anyone who works on projects to help really understand the process and principals that drive Prince2。 I recommend this for anyone who plays a major role in projects on a regular basis。Read the review on my blog Book Reviews and More。 。。。more

I studied this material in and out before I took my exam。 It has tons of useful information and it definitely helped me to pass。Although I would recommend to put more on-hand examples because sometimes it would really help to understand the bits and pieces。And since you can use it in the Practitioner exam it is worth to invest in it。 （ Cheaper than an exam re-take :） ）

A good foundation read for existing project managers/coordinators。 The language is quite thick and repetitive， throw in a few more pronouns and it would be easier to read。

The methodology may be sound， but this book is really hard to read。 Personally， good trainer helps more than this book， if he really helps to explain it all。
